Perth Glory
Auckland FC
January 11, their meeting of the Australian championship will be held Perth Glory - Auckland. I offer my variant of betting on this event, is there any sense to expect a productive soccer?
Perth Glory
Perth Glory’s season has been disastrous, with just 5 points from 12 matches. Their most recent outing was a 0-3 loss to Sydney FC, marking their ninth defeat of the season.
The team has significant issues across all departments, boasting the league's worst defense (33 goals conceded) and the lowest scoring tally (7 goals). With no realistic hopes of making the playoffs, Perth Glory appears to lack motivation, and there are no visible signs of improvement.
Auckland
Auckland is enjoying a stellar season, currently sitting atop the A-League standings. However, their lead is slim, with three teams trailing by just two points. Auckland started the season with six consecutive wins but has slowed down recently, winning just one of their last four games.
Their last match ended in a 0-0 draw at home against Melbourne Victory. Auckland’s defensive strength is a standout feature, with only 8 goals conceded in 10 matches. However, their attack is not prolific, scoring fewer goals than any other team in the top eight.
Match Facts
- Perth Glory has lost all six home games this season, with a goal difference of 3:20.
- Auckland has won three and drawn one of their away games this season.
- Odds: Perth Glory to win (P1): 6.6, Draw (X): 4.65, Auckland to win (P2): 1.46
Prediction
This match pits one of the league's worst teams against its leader. Auckland is the clear favorite, but their scoring inefficiency suggests a lower-scoring game, especially considering Perth Glory’s struggles to find the net.
Betting Recommendation: Bet on under 3.5 total goals. Auckland’s defensive solidity and Perth’s lackluster attack make this a likely outcome, even with Auckland expected to dominate.
