A Western United win vs Brisbane Roar is valued at 2.75 Odds by the bookies, but an away win or draw (+0.5) at 1.43 odds is a much safer and valuable bet in this fixture.

Wester United are currently second on the table, they have the most points per game in the Australian league this season, picking up thirty-four points from eighteen league games.

They are just three points away from league leaders Melbourne City, despite playing two games less. The visitors would be eager to pick up points in this fixture as they bid for a title win.

Western United have lost just once in their last eleven games, winning six and drawing four of those games.

John Aloisi's men are well-known for their defensive exploits, they have the best defensive record in the A-league, conceding an average of just one goal per game, they can shut out the home team and are expected to pick up points in this fixture.

Brisbane Roar come into this fixture on the back off a 2-1 loss at home to Melbourne City. The hosts have been inconsistent this season, and it's no surprise they are currently eleventh on the table, having picked up just seventeen points from sixteen league games.

Brisbane Roar have the third worst offensive stats in the league and they come up against the best defensive team in the league, it's really hard to see them getting anything out of this fixture.

Western United are expected to avoid defeat against a side with just five wins in sixteen games this season.

The visitors have won three out of the last four meetings between these teams, including a 1-0 win in December.

Considering the recent team performances, and with Western United challenging for the Australian league title, an away win is very likely but a safer bet on away win or draw (+0.5) is the best option in this fixture.
