After a plethora of games were contested to complete the 2019/2020 A-League season, the finals begin on Saturday night with Wellington $1.70 favourites at TAB to advance over Perth ($2.10) in their elimination final at Bankwest Stadium.
The third-place Phoenix finished this season in ordinary fashion with two draws and two losses in their last four fixtures while the sixth-placed Glory did not fare much better with consecutive losses and four defeats in five clashes to finish the season.
On Sunday night at Bankwest Stadium, Western United – in their debut season – are $1.60 favourites at TAB to progress to the semi-finals at the expense of Brisbane ($2.25).
Fifth-placed Western United had won three successive fixtures before falling 3-1 to Melbourne City at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium last night while the fourth-placed Roar only secured one win, plus two draws, in their four games since the COVID-19 resumption.
The A-League semi-finals will take place at Bankwest Stadium on the night of Wednesday, August 26, with the Grand Final to be staged at Bankwest Stadium on the evening of Sunday, August 30.
Despite two draws and three losses in their last five encounters, Sydney FC are the $2 favourites at TAB to win the Grand Final after claiming this season’s Premiers Plate.
