Western Sydney Wanderers vs Wellington Phoenix

Friday, February 13, 2026 – CommBank Stadium

Preview:
The Wanderers were all evened out last week, but would’ve been reasonably happy to get something out of it. Wellington got done, but showed some promise and kept some respect on the scoreboard with a late own goal off Miranda.

WSW will want this slow, physical, and played on their terms at home. The Phoenix will try to move the ball quicker and hurt them before it turns into a scrap.

Wellington should have a bit more quality if they don’t lose their heads.

Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets

Friday, February 13, 2026 – HBF Park

Preview:
Perth were involved in their second draw for the year last week and showed plenty of fight. The Jets kept rolling again and just outgunned Adelaide in a proper end-to-end game.

Perth will try to drag this into a grind and stop Newcastle playing at speed. Newcastle will back their form and keep pushing numbers forward like they’ve been doing.

Jets should win this unless Perth completely slows it down.

Perth Glory 1–2 Newcastle Jets

Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane Roar

Saturday, February 14, 2026 – AAMI Park

Preview:
Victory nicked one last week and did enough without being spectacular. Brisbane got done again and are still finding ways to lose games they’re half in. V

ictory will want to control this at home and build pressure early. Brisbane will try to hang in and hope for a moment rather than dictate anything.

Victory should be too strong if they stay patient.

Jimmy’s Prediction
Melbourne Victory 2–0 Brisbane Roar
Jimmy’s Tip
Victory to Win

Sydney FC vs Adelaide United

Saturday, February 14, 2026 – Allianz Stadium

Preview:
Sydney got handed an L last week and looked annoyed once things started going against them. Adelaide also lost a close one but were right in it and didn’t disgrace themselves.

Sydney will want to settle this early and actually put a game away for once. Adelaide will be happy to stay alive and trust they’ll get chances late.

Sydney should edge this at home, but it won’t be comfortable.

Jimmy’s Prediction
Sydney FC 2–1 Adelaide United
Jimmy’s Tip
Sydney to Win

Macarthur FC vs Auckland FC

Sunday, January 5, 2026 – Campbelltown Sports Stadium

Preview:
Another draw for Macarthur, who continue to be hard to beat but not deadly. Auckland won a tight one around this period and keep finding ways to grind results out.

Macarthur wanted this ugly and succeeded in slowing Auckland through the middle. Auckland stayed patient and took what was there.

Final Result
Macarthur FC 1–1 Auckland FC
