Saturday's Australian A-League predictions including Perth Glory vs. Western United

sportsmole.co.uk, 28 April 2023, 23:05

Sydney FC vs. Newcastle Jets (Saturday, 8.00am)

Newcastle Jets will have their last chance of securing a place in the finals series this Saturday when they travel to face fifth-placed Sydney FC.

While the hosts are guaranteed a top-six finish regardless of the result there is plenty to play for as far as the visitors are concerned in the final game of the main season.

We say: Sydney FC 2-0 Newcastle Jets

Newcastle Jets have got the most to play for when it comes to this match, but even though that is the case it is likely going to be Sydney FC who come out on top with their quality being too much.

Macarthur vs. Wellington (Saturday, 8.00am)

Two teams with completely different aims for the final game of the main A-League season will meet on Saturday as Macarthur have their last chance to lift themselves off the foot of the table.

However, Wellington Phoenix need just a draw to secure a place in the finals series, while a defeat could see them drop out depending on other results.

We say: Macarthur 0-2 Wellington Phoenix

Wellington Phoenix do not head into this game in good form, but playing the bottom of the league could be the ideal way to change that as they look to secure their place in the finals series.

Victory vs. Brisbane Roar (Saturday, 10.45am)

Two teams at the bottom of the A-League will meet on Saturday when Melbourne Victory plays Brisbane Roar in the final day of the main season.

While the campaign will continue with the finals series, neither club will be part of it and this fixture will be focused on them avoiding finishing 12th.

We say: Melbourne Victory 1-1 Brisbane Roar

Neither team will want to finish the season bottom of the league and that is likely going to create a cagey atmosphere here that could lead to them sharing the points.

Perth Glory vs. Western Utd (Saturday, 1.00pm)

Two teams sitting outside the top six of the A-League table will meet on Saturday which will create one final chance for them to earn a place in the finals series.

Western United travel to play Perth Glory with both teams aiming to get back to winning ways after disappointing results in their previous outings.

We say: Perth Glory 3-1 Western United

Perth Glory have got great attacking qualities and that is something that should be able to push them over the line in this fixture.
