Melbourne City will not defend their A-League grand final crown after being eliminated by Auckland FC at the Elimination final stage.

In the Elimination final, Auckland FC beat City on penalties before Sydney FC edged past Melbourne Victory in a 1-0 win.

This saw the two semi-finals set. The first-legs of the two meetings ended 1-1 as none of the four could secure an advantage on the scoreboard. While Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United have the psychological advantage of now playing at home against Sydney FC and Auckland FC respectively, this does not always result in victory.

Indeed, Auckland FC and Sydney FC will feel that some of the pressure has been lifted. The pair travel to take on the two highest ranked sides in the competition away from home. This may see the pressure of winning in front of their own fans get to the two home teams.

At the end of the regular season, it was Newcastle Jets that finished as minor premiers. Their stunning run saw the side secure 48 points, meaning they were five clear of Adelaide United in second. Auckland FC finished a point behind United in second with Sydney FC ending their regular season campaign in fifth.

With all four sides still in the grand final equation, the first goal in each game could prove vital. Chasing the game can leave gaps in behind the defence, and if a side is good enough on the counter, a one-goal lead can quickly turn into two and then three.

Which side do you think will win the 2025/26 A-League grand final? Can Newcastle Jets come through on being the pre-finals favourites?
