The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Queensland Lions to win the 1st half

Queensland Lions is a tough opponent to face, particularly away from home. They have enough dangerous attacking weapons to deal some damage up front, while the defence is quite solid as well.

It would not be a shock if they come in and give their hosts Gold Coast United FC a bit of a scare in the early going.

That is why we recommend taking Queensland Lions to win the first half.

👉 Our prediction is: Over 2.5 goals in the match

After careful analysis of Gold Coast United FC and Queensland Lions, we predict that the match will go over 2.5 goals. This means the two teams are likely to score 3 or more goals combined.

The two attacks have been playing quite well of late, which is why we feel this is the best bet for this upcoming match.
