Maclaren hat-trick, stalemate in Sydney derby

The A-League was the only major football league to host any fixtures this weekend – but how much could you have won? It’s the Daily Spread Betting Roundup!

City sink Mariners – Central Coast Mariners v Melbourne City
In easily the most exciting fixture, Melbourne City clung onto 2nd place with a 4-2 victory at Central Coast Mariners.

Things didn’t actually get off to the best start for the visitors, with Jordan Murray putting the hosts ahead after just 2 minutes. Sell a 1st Match Goal spread of 30-33, and that’s a swift 28 times your initial stake.

However, A-League top-scorer Jamie Maclaren wasn’t going to let that lead last for long. In the 5th minute the Aussie drew City level, meaning anyone selling a 2nd Match Goal spread of 53-56 made a tasty 48 times their opening bet.

Murray and Maclaren continued to be the main stars as the match went on. The former completed a brace in the 69th minute, sending his SMM make-up to 140 against a starting price of 17-21. That’s 119 times your original bet.

Maclaren, meanwhile, scored against in the 48th and 74th minutes, his hat-track sending his SMM make-up to 323. Even when considering his massive opening spread of 87-102, you could’ve won 221 times your initial wager.

Add onto all that Markel Susaeta’s 10th minute strike, and anyone buying a Total Goals spread of 3.2-3.4 made 2.6 times their opening stake.

Roar louder than Jets – Brisbane Roar v Newcastle Jets
The hardest to call A-League game this weekend, Brisbane Roar just about outperformed Newcastle Jets with a 1-0 win.

That meant buying a choice Brisbane/Newcastle Goal Supremacy spread of -0.1-0.1 left you with 0.9 times your original bet.

Sydney derby stalemate – Western Sydney Wanderers v Sydney FC
They may have an 8-point lead, with 3 games in hand over 2nd place City, at the top of the A-League, but Sydney FC have failed to beat their struggling Western rivals this season.

Following 2 previous losses, the Sky Blues could only manage a 1-1 draw on Sunday. That means anyone buying a binary Match to be drawn spread of 23.8-28.6 made 71.4 times your initial stake.
