LiontipsAuckland - Melbourne Victory: betting tip and bets on the Australian Championship match (May 24, 2025) from UPU
Command Analysis
Current form
Oakland is playing its first season in its history, but has already managed to win the regular season. In the standings, the New Zealand club managed to get five points ahead of its closest pursuer, Melbourne City. This allowed the team to advance directly to the semifinals of the playoffs. There were fears that the team would suffer due to a lack of playing form, but despite the two-week break, the New Zealand team performed well and completely outplayed the opponent. Melbourne Victory were lucky to have only one goal in their goal. Nevertheless, even such an away win provides Oakland with excellent chances of qualifying for the finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts are approaching the second leg with an optimal squad.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won three of the last four matches.
- The hosts have not lost on their own field since last year.
Approximate line-up: Poulsen - De Vries, Pidgeon, Hull, Sakai - Gallegos, Rogerson - Francois, Verstreth - Randall, May
Current form
Melbourne Victory struggled for a long time to reach the playoffs, but in the end they still achieved their goal. The team finished fifth in the standings, and in the quarterfinals they fell to Western Sydney Wanderers, who finished in fourth place. In this confrontation, the team from Melbourne still won, although they had to play on the road. Arthur Diels' team won 2-1 and advanced to the semifinals, where they were named the best team of the regular season. Apparently, there were no forces left for the semifinal confrontation, since the guests have not yet managed to oppose Oakland, although they conceded only one goal.
Disqualifications and injuries
Langerak and Traore will miss the game due to injuries. Hamill's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has conceded one goal in each of the last four matches.
- The visitors have never scored in face-to-face confrontations with Auckland

1.67Tip and bets
The hosts have shown outstanding stability this season and are outperforming their competitors. New Zealanders dream of winning a trophy in their first season and will do everything in order to complete the task. Melbourne Victory could not compete with the championship leader on its own field, it is unlikely that it will be possible to do this on the road.
Our betting tip is for Auckland to win in 2.05
Bet on the total
The hosts already have the advantage and will not rush to attack. The visitors need to recoup, but it will be extremely difficult to get through the Auckland defense. In the first match, Melbourne Victory failed to create dangerous chances. Most likely, a similar scenario awaits us in the second match.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.10
Betting on corners
We believe that the teams will focus on defense, so we do not recommend betting on a large number of corners.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.85
