Western United vs Macarthur FC

These two teams are in the top 6, with Western on second 5 points behind the top spot with 2 games in hand.
They met 4 times in the past one year, and every time we had at last 3 goals scored by both teams.
Macarthur is 6th, so they want to put some space behind them to secure the last play-off spot.

Bet 1: Over 2.5 goals & BTTS @2.10
Bet 2: Over 2.5 goals + a goal scored in both halves @2.10

AFC Champions League

Sydney FC vs Gia Lai
Vissel Kobe vs Kitchee

The AFC Champions League this year is played in a different format, with teams drawn in groups of 4 teams, with the top team to qualify, followed by the best 3 second spots. The matches are played in Vietnam.
Gia Lai are from Vietnam and are the minnows in their group. They lost the first match 1-2 against Yokohama.
Sydney FC drew 0-0 against South Korea's Jeonbuk, a match with big chances at both ends of the park.
I expect Sydney to get a win here, as this is their best opportunity for three points.

Kitchee are from Hong Kong and I expect them to be no match for the Japanese outfit Vissel Kobe. Although Vissel are not doing too well in J1 League, the quality difference is big between the two teams.

Bet: Sydney win + Vissel win @2.22

Sydney FC vs Gia Lai

Both teams had 7 corners in their respective first matches, Sydney 7-6 against Jeonbuk, and Gia Lai 7-6 against Yokohama.

Bet: Over 9.5 Corners @1.80

Liverpool v Man Utd
As expected ManU are going with a keeper/5 defenders/holding midfielder and Pogba lying deep - basically lets lose by as little as possible. Probably not going to be a good watch. Liverpool should rack up a lot of corners but I think goals may be below expectations.

2-3 Match goals @ 23/20
Total Corners over 10.5 @ 17/20
Think that Liverpool win to Nil at 27/20 is a runner but will swerve as a 50+ year ManU supporter.

Liverpool 2-3 goals @ 9/10

A-League

WS Wanderers vs Newcastle Jets

This is a big match for both teams, as they are fighting to catch a play-off spot.
Both are coming from heart breaking results, with the Jets not able to hold on to a point against Melbourne Victory (lost in the 93rd minute), and the Wanderers from two consecutive draws, when they were equalized in injury time both times.
I expect a fierce battle here.

Bet 1: Over 2.5 goals @1.73
Bet 2: Over 4.5 cards @1.90
Bet 3: Over 11 Asian Corners @1.88

No idea what the London derby will throw up and Pep will take a 1-0. Leaves our two goals matches at Goodison and St James.

Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Over 1.5 goals in match
Newcastle @ 29/20

A-League

Macarthur vs Melbourne Victory

Melbourne Victory are undefeated in their last 11 matches, with 6 wins and 5 draws.
Coach Popovic has tightened the defence and they had 4 consecutive clean sheets before last week's 2-1 away win to Newcastle.

Macarthur on the other hand just needs to keep accumulating points with a finals berth far from guaranteed based on their current tally.

Having dropped two of their last three, Macarthur cannot afford anything less than a win here, however it is shaping up as a tough assignment with the Victory on such a good run, with four wins from their last five.

Victory being in such strong form, it is difficult to look past them to win this.

Bet 1: Victory @1.95
Bet 2: Same Game Multi (bet365) - Draw or Melbourne + Over 1 cards for both teams combined + Over 6 corners for both teams combined + Over 1 goals for both teams combined @1.80

Wellington Phoenix vs WS Wanderers

The Phoenix play their second match in New Zealand this season. They lost the first one last week in Wellington, 0-4 to the Mariners, but they had one week for the first time in a long time to prepare for this next game.
They've had a gruelling 7 games in 23 days and now they finally had one week to recover and prepare for a game.
They are currently sitting 6th, last play-off spot, with four games to go.
The Wanderers are 10th and they must win all their remaining 4 games to have a chance at play-offs.

Bet: Wellington 0.0 @1.92

Liverpool over 2.5 goals @ 15/20
