Brisbane Roar vs Western United Prediction and Betting Tips | April 16th 2025
Brisbane Roar will host Western United at the Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 Australia A-League campaign. The home side have been poor all season and remain rock-bottom in the table with just 11 points as they head into the final four games of the regular season.
They were beaten 3-2 by Melbourne Victory in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a point on the road following Keegan Jelacic leveler midway through the second half, before their opponents reclaimed the lead late in the day.
Westen United, meanwhile, have been in fine form in recent months. They, however, saw their premiership charge take a hit on Saturday as they were beaten 2-0 by Western Sydney Wanderers and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing, particularly in the second half.
The visitors sit third in the league table with 41 points from 24 matches. They are six points behind leaders Auckland and will be looking to reduce that gap this week.

Brisbane Roar vs Western United Prediction
The Lions are on a three-game losing streak and have won just one of their last nine matches. They have the worst home record in the division this season and will need to step things up significantly this week if they are to secure maximum points.
Western United saw their latest result end a five-game winning streak and will be looking to bounce back here. They have the best away record in the A-League this season and should make that count here.
