Predictions- Round 1 (Predicted result for each game in Brackets)

Western Sydney Wanderers v Sydney FC- (Western Sydney Wanderers)
Western United v Melbourne Victory- (Melbourne Victory)
Perth Glory v Adelaide United- (Perth Glory)
Newcastle Jets v Central Coast Mariners- (Central Coast Mariners)

Friday Game One of Round 1- (19/11/2021)
Melbourne City v Brisbane Roar
The Brisbane Roar will go into this game with nothing to lose, as Melbourne City are clearly the favourites. There’s no doubt Melbourne City will be impacted by Jamie Maclaren and Mat Leckie travelling with the Socceroos as they should have reduced game time.
Melbourne City Game Changer: Scott Galloway
Brisbane Roar Game Changer: Alex Parsons
My Prediction: Brisbane Roar
Saturday Game Two of Round 1- (20/11/2021)
Western Sydney Wanderers v Sydney FC
To call this an intriguing game would be an understatement. First of all it’s a derby and second of all both teams have to prove they are title contenders.
Western Sydney Wanderers Game Changer: Steven Ugarkovic
Sydney FC Game Changer: Elvis Kamsoba
My Prediction: Western Sydney Wanderers
Saturday Game Three of Round 1- (20/11/2021)
Western United v Melbourne Victory
Both of these teams have a new coach; expect Tony Popovic’s Victory team to be too strong for Western United.
Western United Game Changer: Josh Risdon
Melbourne Victory Game Changer: Brendan Hamill
My Prediction: Melbourne Victory
Saturday Game Four of Round 1- (20/11/2021)
Perth Glory v Adelaide United
The Perth Glory should be raring to go following the signing of some good players in the off season.
Perth Glory Game Changer: Brandon O’Neill
Adelaide United Game Changer: Ryan Kitto
My Prediction: Perth Glory
Sunday Game Five of Round 1- (21/11/2021)
Newcastle Jets v Central Coast Mariners
The Mariners have a big opportunity to cause an upset as the Jets looked out of form in their recent FFA Cup where they made mistakes.
Newcastle Jets Game Changer: Angus Thurgate
Central Coast Mariners Game Changer: Kye Rowles
My Prediction: Central Coast Mariners
Sunday Game Six of Round 1- (21/11/2021)
Macarthur FC v Wellington Phoenix
Wellington Phoenix have too much quality in the final third for Macarthur FC.
Macarthur FC Game Changer: James Meredith
Wellington Phoenix Game Changer: Ben Waine
My Prediction: Wellington Phoenix
