Australian A League 2020/21 Season Betting Tips
Like many other global football leagues, the Australian A League suffered a good deal of disruption when it came to the 2019/20 campaign, with the eleven teams having to down tools on 24 March 2020 before the league was given the green light to resume on 17 July 2020, with the Grand Final scheduled for 30 August.
At the time of writing, it appears as though Sydney FC are in the box seat as far as the Final Series is concerned and we might expect them to be battling it out with Melbourne City and Wellington Phoenix in the final. Brisbane Roar, Perth Glory and Adelaide United are other teams who could be in contention.
When Does the 2020/21 A League Season Start and End?
The 2020/21 A League football season is not scheduled to start until December 2020, allowing the current Australian soccer teams to enjoy a breather after an interrupted season, with the campaign set to run all the way through to July 2021.
It appears that the number of teams in the 2020/21 A League season will increase to twelve which means there will be six games for every round of fixtures and an even number means that there won’t be any rest weeks for particular teams each week.
Macarthur FC are going to be the new boys to compete in this division, with The Bulls having been founded in March 2017 and they have a 20,000 seater stadium in the form of Campbelltown Stadium. Ante Milicic will be the high-profile manager of this team, with the coach having been part of the Australian FC set up for a long time.
Who Are the Betting Favourites to Win the A League Title?
Sydney FC have really come on leaps and bounds in the past few years and they are likely to be the betting favourites to win the A League Premiership and the A League Championship next season. While they have only won four Australian A League titles at the time of writing, their triumphs in 2017 and 2019 mark them as out as viable contenders.
The Sky Blues were easily the most convincing team during the 2019/20 regular season, although the presence of the Finals Series adds a random element to the Aussie A League soccer season and there are other teams who have to be afforded respect.
Perth Glory reached the 2019 Finals Series final before getting thrashed by Sydney although they will be keen to be crowned champions of Australia, while Melbourne Victory and Adelaide United are also likely to be among the leading teams and perhaps Sydney FC won’t have things all their own way.
Bet on the A League Top Scorer Betting Odds
We often see a bruising encounter when it comes to the top scorer in the Australian A League, with the leading strikers from the best teams regularly battling it out to land the Golden Boot prize.
This is an excellent football betting market considering you can bet on a number of players at different odds and still make a profit. Many bookies offer each-way betting when it comes to leading scorer and it’s a great way of getting involved.
Adam Le Fondre and Jamie Maclaren were among the top scorers during the 2019/20 season, with Le Fondre having previously done well in England for clubs such as Reading although the Englishman has made a smooth transition to life in the Australian A League.
If you can generally find a player who is capable of scoring twenty goals during the regular season, then you can strike gold with this sort of bet.
Bet on Every A League Football Match Through the Season
All the leading bookmakers will offer A League football match betting. You can generally choose from a wide range of betting markets and that includes Full-Time Result, Correct Score, First Goalscorer, Asian Handicap, Double Chance, Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals.
Many betting customers enjoy placing an A League football accumulator where they can pick a number of teams to win and have them in multiple bet. Alternatively, you can make the selections such as Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals and plug them into your acca.
