APWin Prediction

Under 2.5 Goals

APWin experts have analysed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

From what they have shown thus far this season, Auckland and Melbourne City both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.

As a result, we predict the total going under 2.5 goals to be the most attractive betting option for this upcoming match.

👉 Our prediction is: Melbourne City win or draw

Our evaluations have shown there is not much separating Auckland and Melbourne City overall. But given the extra betting edge that comes with the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw is enough to win the bet, we recommend taking Melbourne City to win or draw in this match.

With odds of 1.46, there is a good deal of value on Melbourne City to pull off a potential upset away from home against Auckland, who have not been in the best form of late.
