Australian A League Predictions: Matchday 8 ⚽️ Odds & Picks

Vegas Odds are going to preview all six games of the Matchday 8 of Australian A League.

Round 8 of the 2022-23 Australian A-League kicks off on Friday, December 16. It continues on Saturday before wrapping up on Sunday early morning (Eastern Time). There are six games on the schedule.

Newcastle Jets beat Central Coast Mariners 2-1 last weekend. They are 2nd in the 2022-23 A-League with wins over Perth Glory and Wellington Phoenix and a loss to Melbourne City. Brisbane Roar are 3rd in this season with a record of 2 wins and 1 loss.

Brisbane Roar are a big team with some good players. Charlie Austin is their biggest star, but he hasn't shown much since coming to Australia. He's scored just two goals in the six games he's played so far.

Adelaide United are flying high at the moment with 12 points (3-3) in the A-League standings. They lost the previous round against Brisbane Roar. This time they are taking on Wellington Phoenix, who hasn't been good since the start of the season.

Central Coast Mariners are flying high in the A-League. Sydney FC finished below the playoff zone last season. Last season, Sydney's defense was the league's third-worst. This season their defense is even worse, but Central Coast have been equally impressive.

Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory are going to play each other in the 40th Melbourne Derby. The last one ended in a 2-0 victory for Melbourne City. Melbourne victory was due to a penalty, an own goal and a red card.

WS Wanderers are second in the A-League standings. Western United is one of the least productive teams in A League. They are taking on the bottom-ranked team in Round 8.

Perth Glory haven't won a match against Macarthur FC since their last defeat. Perth Glory finished bottom last season with a 4-6-16 record and a score differential of 20-43. This season, they seem to be playing better, but they are still not good enough.
