A-League Elimination Finals Betting Tips - Home advantage to tell in the A-League Elimination Finals

Get the latest betting tips and insight for the Elimination Finals of the A-League as Western United face Adelaide United and Western Sydney Wanderers host Melbourne Victory. 

Western United have impressed of late, winning their last two matches by beating Sydney FC 1-0 and Auckland FC 4-2. Their last win of the regular season was particularly impressive as they beat the table toppers. While Auckland FC had already secured their place at the top, they would have wanted to end the regular season with a win. Instead, they met a Western United side in inspired form. This win was their seventh triumph in their last nine, with their two defeats both coming away from home. 

Adelaide United ended the season in sixth, with the side having to sweat on their sixth-placed finish. Sydney FC had the chance to knock them out, but their loss on the final day saw United go through by a single point. Worrying for the travelling side is that they have won just one of their last 11 matches, losing six times and drawing the other four. 

With a comfortable 3-0 win in their last match against Adelaide United, this one looks like Western United will secure the victory. 

Western Sydney Wanderers finished just two points short of Melbourne City in second, with WS in great form as the season came to an end. Two wins over Newcastle Jets and Macarthur FC saw the Wanderers secure a home Elimination Final, which may prove decisive. The Wanderers have not lost any of their last five at home, winning four games and drawing once. With two wins and a draw in their last three against Melbourne Victory, the home side will be very confident. 

Melbourne Victory could not fire themselves into the Elimination Finals on the back of a win as they were held by Newcastle Jets in a frustrating 1-1 draw. Considering the Jets had failed to win any of their previous two before their draw with Melbourne, this loss of momentum may prove crucial. 

With four wins and a draw in their last five at home coming alongside a 4-2 win over Melbourne in their last meeting, I am backing both sides to score as the home team take their chance and move into the semi-finals.
