Wellington vs. Victory (Saturday, 3.00am)
Melbourne Victory will continue their quest to lift themselves off the foot of the A-League table when they make the trip to face Wellington Phoenix on Friday night.
The hosts are looking to bounce back from a difficult defeat in their last outing, but could climb to as high as third place with three points in this match.
We say: Wellington Phoenix 1-1 Melbourne Victory
Wellington Phoenix might be the favourites heading into this one due to their league position, but with the visitors having secured a win last weekend and with more to fight for, they could secure a point.

Central Coast vs. Brisbane Roar (Saturday, 7.00am)
Central Coast Mariners will be looking to get their push for the A-League top two back on track when they host Brisbane Roar at the Industree Group Stadium on Saturday.
The hosts are fourth in the table, six points off second-placed Adelaide United, while the visitors are in 11th place, having picked up just 23 points from their 21 games up to this point.
We say: Central Coast Mariners 1-0 Brisbane Roar
Brisbane Roar have made a decent start under Green, although both matches they have won came at the Kayo Stadium, losing the two matches they have played on their travels, against Macarthur and Melbourne City.
As such, we expect Central Coast to get their push for the top two back on track with a narrow victory.

Sydney FC vs. Western Utd (Saturday, 9.45am)
Sydney FC host Western United at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday afternoon, in the latest round of A-League fixtures.
Both sides are pushing for the playoff places as we approach the climax of the season, with the hosts occupying sixth place and the visitors two points lower, currently sitting in eighth.
We say: Sydney FC 0-1 Western United
Sydney have been in very poor form of late, failing to score in their last two games, while they have also struggled at home all season, with no side collecting fewer points on their own patch.
Considering Western United have been impressive on their travels recently, winning two of their last three matches, we think they could cause an upset and come away with a narrow victory.

Perth Glory vs. Macarthur (Saturday, 12.00pm)
Perth Glory welcome Macarthur to HBF Park in the latest round of A-League matches on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts are 10th in the table, but still only three points off the top six, while the visitors are one place higher, in ninth, having picked up one extra point.
We say: Perth Glory 1-0 Macarthur
Perth Glory have been very solid at home all season, defeating third-placed Western Sydney Wanderers 1-0 in their last match at HBF Park, and they should be able to eke out a narrow victory on Saturday.
Macarthur showed signs of improvement in the 1-1 draw against Melbourne City last time out, but their form has otherwise been patchy in recent weeks, and it is too early to say they have turned the corner.
