There is little to say about the teams' form at the start of the season, but the players will certainly try to put on a show for the fans in the first match of the season. Expect an exciting match with many goals scored.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.78
Bet on total
Brisbane Roar were not particularly impressive last season, while Auckland are looking to make some noise in their first season in the A-League. We believe that the hosts will be able to win their first official match.
Our prediction is a win for Oakland with odds of 2.45
Bet on corners
If the game is open, as we think, then in this match the opponents will make quite a few passes from the corner flag. We will make another bet on the over total for this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners with odds of 1.52
