LiontipsQueensland Lions vs Western Sydney Wanderers Australia Cup Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Queensland Lions play in the NPL Queensland, where they finished fourth and earned a playoff spot. The team frankly failed to finish the regular season, failing to win a single match in the last five rounds. However, they managed to confidently beat Perth Red Star 4-1 away in the 1/16 finals of the Australia Cup. A more serious test lies ahead – a match against a League A representative.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- At least four goals have been scored in the team's last four matches.
- In their previous two matches, the Queensland Lions were losing in the first half.
Probable squad : Cardiff Pond, Finn Bickhurst, Jacob Mynett, Hassan Ramzani, Jackson Hart-Phillips, James Enticknap, Joseph Duckworth, Alexander Fichtner, Sean Carlos, Jack Skinner, Andrew Pengelly.
Current form
Western Sydney Wanderers finished the season in League A in seventh place and did not make it to the playoffs. Just three points were not enough to overtake Melbourne City. The visitors then played two matches – they won 2:1 in the Brisbane City Cup and were more confident in the friendly game with Auckland (4:2). It should be noted that Wanderers did not have a high scoring record in the national championship – only 44 goals scored in 27 matches, which is very little by tournament standards.
Disqualifications and injuries
All players are ready to take to the field today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Only one of the team's last five matches has seen more than three goals scored.
- Western Sydney Wanderers have won just one of their last five first-half games.
Probable lineup : Lavrenze Thomas, Gabriel Cleur, Anthony Pantazopoulos, Alex Bonetig, Jack Clisby, Oscar Priestman, Alexander Badolato, Joshua Brillante, Brandon Borrello, Nicolas Milanovic, Zachary Sapsford.

8.30Tip and bets
In our opinion, there is no particular intrigue to be expected in this pair. The visitors have a noticeable advantage in class, and judging by the previous stage, the Cup is of great importance to them. The hosts had a frankly disastrous end to the regular season and are unlikely to be ready to counter their superior opponent today.
Our prediction is a victory for Western Sydney Wanderers at odds of 1.56
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, we recommend that you start from the statistics of the guests. In the last five official matches with their participation, more than three goals were scored only once.
The second bet is total under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.80
Bet on the first half
In their previous two encounters, the Queensland Lions have been beaten in the first half. Today is a tough opponent and it is unlikely that they will be able to break that streak.
Prediction - Western Sydney Wanderers win in the first half with odds of 1.90
