LiontipsMelbourne Victory - Auckland: betting tip and bets for the Australian Championship match (May 17, 2025) from UPU
Command Analysis
Current form
Melbourne Victory finished fifth in the A-League standings and advanced to the quarterfinals of the playoffs, where they had to face Western Sydney Wanderers. Arthur Diels' team was forced to play on the road, as the opponent finished the championship in fourth place, but this did not bother the Victory players at all. The Melbourne team quickly opened the scoring, and after the return goal, they didn't fall apart and took the lead again before the break. No one managed to score in the second half, and the guys in blue advanced to the next stage, where they will have to face the strongest team of the regular season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Langerak and Traore will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has conceded one goal in each of the last three matches.
- The club has suffered only one defeat in the last six matches.
Approximate composition: Duncan - Bos, Jackson, Roderick, Inserra - Valadon, Tig - Velupille, Mashash, Arzani - Vergos
Current form
In its very first season, Auckland won the A-League regular season and is preparing to make its playoff debut. The New Zealand team did not allow itself to fail during the championship and eventually took the first place in the standings, ahead of its nearest competitor by five points. We managed to assemble an excellent team, which proved to be just great under the leadership of Steve Chorica. The team from New Zealand is the main favorite for the championship title, but first you need to get past Melbourne Victory in the semifinals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jonty Bidois will not play in the first leg of the semi-finals.
Interesting betting trends
- In two of the last three matches, the guests managed to win back to zero.
- The team has suffered only one defeat in the last 15 matches.
Provisional squad: Poulsen - De Vries, Pidgeon, Hull, Sakai - Francois, Gallegos, Verstreth, Rogerson - May, Mata

2.20Tip and bets
The guests had a great regular season and have a great chance of winning the title, and it's only been a year since the club was founded. Auckland recently played against Melbourne Victory and scored an away win with a score of 2:0. Less than a month has passed since that match, so we believe that this time the team from New Zealand will prevail.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (0) for Auckland in 2.10
Bet on the total
Both teams know how to play for results, so you shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored here. In the playoffs, the opponents will not take too many risks and will certainly play cautiously. We believe that it is worth putting on a low total here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.90
Betting on corners
We believe that the opponents will rely on defense, so we should not expect a large number of flank attacks. A defensive style of play is unlikely to lead to a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.94
