A-League much harder to predict than AFL: Brisbane, Sydney, Victory, Mariners and Perth to win this weekend

You know the competition is crap when you can pick most if not all of the winners every week.

The expanded AFL enables most fans to easily pick 6, 7 or sometimes 8 from 8. Don't believe me - ask any AFL fan. Their problem. The EPL not so easy, but most fans know United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs will be winners.

But the A-League is tough - and once the Roar lose, which they will, it will be tougher still.

Can Sydney sneak it at Hindmarsh - maybe they can - they need a striker, just one. But given they are a little stronger defensively, Liam not Reddy aside, with Emerton, Kisel, Antonis, and Petratos they have much, much more forward mobility then previous. Not enough, but maybe enough for away day success.

You heard it here first!
