A-League Semi-Final (Second Leg) Preview

A-League Semi-Final (Second Leg) Preview

• Charlie Wilson
This semi-final now feels like it’s in Adelaide’s hands. A 1-1 draw in Auckland means the sides will face off in Adelaide for a spot in the Grand Final. It’s a tough place to play at the best of times, and for Auckland, well, they’re down a couple of key men. Guillermo May will miss out due to an injury, but Sam Cosgrove should step in and get some good minutes under his belt. Adelaide will be buoyed by the fact that Luka Jovanovic can return to the squad after missing the first leg due to suspension. This has all…

Crusaders vs Blues Friday, 7:05 PM Either Team by Under 7.5 @ $2.30 Can the Crusaders turn One New Zealand Stadium into their fortress? They earned a bonus point last week against the Hurricanes thanks to a late converted try. It had looked like they came to play early, but once the ‘Canes settled in they couldn’t keep up. That’s something they’re going to have to do better this week when the Blues come to town. After a tight first half against Moana, the Blues clicked into another gear when they ran out for the second half. Tuipulotu, Barrett and…

A-League Elimination Final Preview

• Charlie Wilson
Auckland FC get the benefit of hosting this elimination final, but it’s certainly not where they would have wanted to be, given their successes this season. After dipping in form during the home stretch, it’s now do or die for the Black Knights. They host the three-time champions, Melbourne City, who come into this one with four wins and one loss in their last five games. That one loss though… against Adelaide United last week. On the other hand, Auckland have not seen a win in their last five, but Steve Corica’s men will be eager to change that narrative.…

Hurricanes vs Crusaders Friday, 7:05 PM Fehi Fineanganofo to bag the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Try @ $2.95 I don’t think anyone can stop Fehi Fineanganofo. He had four as the ‘Canes mate light work of the Brumbies. The Crusaders got themselves underway off the right foot in their new home stadium. They dominated from set piece and were able to control the game but the stand out was Leicester Fainga’anuku wearing the #7 jersey. The Hurricanes pack has had a bit of a reshuffle and they should be good enough to win infront of a home crowd however the…

A-League Round 26 Preview

We’re into the last round of the regular season, and the Nix are no good for a playoff run, but they’ll want to finish strong under Greenacre. After their 2-1 win last week over Western Sydney, the Nix are now four wins in their last five games. Not much else to say here other than let’s hope the Nix can end the season on a high note. The main goal threat for the Nix is, of course, Eze and under Greenacre, he’s been adding to the tally relatively consistently. There is a betcha boost for him to score and the…

Crusaders vs Waratahs Friday, 7:35 PM Crusaders -15.5 @ $1.87 Back-to-back losses for the ‘Saders during their Australian road trip from Brisbane to Perth. Both games were lost 31-26… wonder if that’s worth a punt this weekend? If you look at this game, though, the Crusaders really should be winning by a big margin. New stadium, home crowd and ending a losing streak couldn’t be any more motivating. The Tahs got pumped by the Chiefs two weeks ago in Hamilton, and I’m expecting a similar result to the 42-14 scoreline. Best: Crusaders -15.5 @ $1.87 Next: Betcha Boost – Sevu…

After losing to Melbourne City on the weekend, the Phoenix need to win both of their last games to have a chance at making the top six. They’ll be playing in Christchurch this weekend at Apollo Projects Stadium, and I think they might give the Canterbury fans something to cheer about. If they get through the Wanderers, they’ll then have to do the same next week away against Macarthur, who might be in a similar position on the table. Back to this week, though, and Western Sydney are at the bottom of the barrel. And being so close to the…

Two plays four here with plenty on the line for both teams. Auckland FC are gunning for the Premiers Plate, while the Victory, despite being in the top six, aren’t guaranteed a playoff spot. Auckland, fresh off their 1-1 draw with Adelaide, will still have some PTSD from last time the Melbourne side visited… yes, that semi-final second leg… The Black Knights scraped a point last week, but it was Melbourne who couldn’t capitalise on the opportunity, going down 1-0 at home to the Nix. Their first loss since February. Auckland FC will be keen to not only rewrite their…

UFC 327 has arrived, and it’s a chance for another Kiwi to be crowned champion with Carlos Ulberg taking on Jiri Procházka for the light heavyweight title. Here are my best for Sunday’s card 💥 Tatiana Suarez vs Lupita Godinez Sunday, 11:15am Tatiana Suarez to Win by Points | $2.20 Suarez by Submission ❌ Suarez is coming off a decision win over Amanda Lemos after her tough loss to Weili Zhang. Since returning, Suarez doesn’t look as determined to get a finish and is happy to coast along, doing enough to earn a victory by decision. Lupita Godinez is durable…
