Western United vs Auckland: betting tip for the Australian Championship match
The final round of the Australian A-League will feature a match between Western United and Auckland. The New Zealand team has been leading the league all season and has already secured the first place at the end of the regular season, while the hosts are fighting for the second place. Who will be able to score tournament points on the third of May? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Western United FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Western United is very confident this season and will definitely play in the playoffs, but it is still possible to compete for the second place, which gives a direct ticket to the semifinals. So far, the hosts are in third place, but only one point behind Melbourne City. United must win in the last round and expect their opponent to misfire. In recent away matches, the team lost to Western Sydney Wanderers (0:2) and Brisbane Roar (1:2), but there are usually no problems at home - John Aloisi's wards beat Perth Glory (3:1) and Sydney (1:0) on their territory.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in the squad before the final match of the season.
Interesting betting trends
- None of the last nine matches of the hosts ended in a draw.
- The team has won four matches in a row on its own field.
Approximate composition: Sutton - Garuccio, Leonard, Donaghy, Imai - Danzaki, Tergate, Bojinowski, Grimaldi - Boteach, Ruhs
Auckland FC
New ZealandCurrent form
Auckland became the first Major Australian League team in its first season in the A-League, at least according to the results of the regular season. The newcomer of the championship takes the first place and is eight points ahead of Melbourne City. Despite the fact that the New Zealanders have already solved their tasks, they continue to score points. In recent rounds, Steve Chorica's team managed to beat Melbourne Victory (2:0) and Perth Glory (1:0), and before that there were draws in matches with Western Sydney Wanderers (1:1) and Sydney (2:2).

14.00Bet At least one team won't score
This bet has played in three of the last five away matches.
2.45Tip and bets
The guests no longer have tournament motivation, but victory for the hosts is far from guaranteed. Oakland is in great shape right now, but there's no point in saving their strength, because they won't be fighting for the playoffs anytime soon. The guests will try to avoid defeat in the final match of the season, and few people manage to beat the New Zealanders. We believe that Auckland will not give in now either.
Our betting tip is that Auckland will not lose in 1.85
Bet on the total
The guests have been very confident in their defense throughout the season, and the last regular season match is unlikely to be an exception. Western United rarely concedes on their own field either, so the scoring extravaganza probably won't happen here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.35
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. It will obviously take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.45
