A-League: Top six on the line for Wanderers and City

Four of the top six sides are playing on Saturday in what promises to be an exciting day of A-League action.

With just two matches of the regular season to play, there is plenty to play for, with places in the play-offs still to be decided.

In the opening game of the day, Melbourne City have work to do to push their way into the top six and need a win away at Western Sydney Wanderers.

City are priced at 2.10 to get there, and can jump over the sixth-placed Wanderers with a win on Saturday.

Melbourne Victory are assured of top six and will be looking towards finals when they entertain Brisbane.

In the final game of the day, fifth take on fourth, when Macarthur FC host Sydney FC at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Top-six hopes are on the line for both the Wanderers and City as they prepare to clash at CommBank Stadium.

City smashed the Wanderers 7-0 earlier in the season in a freakish result, and Marko Rudan’s side will be out for revenge.

We could be in for another high-scoring game however, and over 2.5 goals can be backed at 1.53, while both teams to score is 1.50.

Tolgay Arslan scored a hat-trick for City as they beat Perth Glory 8-0 last week, and the striker is 9.00 to score the first goal.

With their place in the top six secured, Melbourne Victory will be keen to build some momentum with finals fast approaching.

They slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Wellington Phoenix last week, but won three of the previous four games.

Brisbane Roar are unbeaten in the last six games against Victory, and won 3-2 when the two sides met at Suncorp last month.

Roar have also won the last two games at AAMI Park 1-0 and can be backed at 19.00 to do the same again on Saturday.

Both sides head into the clash on the back of important wins that secured their places in the top six.

However neither will be looking to take the foot off the gas with finals fast approaching, while there is also local pride to play for.

Macarthur have won the last two meetings between the two sides, including a 3-0 win at Allianz Stadium in December.

Valere Germain was on the scoresheet that day, and the Macarthur forward can be backed at 7.50 to score the first goal, or 2.75 to score at anytime.
