The grand final of the A-League season for 2025/26 is finally here, with just two sides left to battle for glory. 

Melbourne City edged out rivals Melbourne Victory 1-0 in last season's showpiece, but neither side will appear in the grand final in 2026 after their exits in the Elimination finals. 

With the trophy now just one game away, the winner betting with online bookmaker Betr sees Auckland FC leading the odds.

Melbourne City had hoped to make it back-to-back A-League crowns but were eliminated at the first round after the regular season. Their loss on penalties to Auckland FC means City's title defence is over. 

In the grand final, we will see Auckland FC take on Sydney FC, with the trophy on the line. 

The betting suggests the Kiwi outfit are the side to beat, but Sydney are not far behind. Ultimately, the final could go either way, with both sides well matched. 

The semi-finals saw Auckland hit the front against Adelaide United in a stunning 3-0 win on the road as the former roared to a 4-1 aggregate win. 

Meanwhile, Sydney FC needed penalties to eliminate Newcastle Jets in the semi-finals. While it was hardly the most impressive of attacking performances, Sydney FC showcased their grit and determination as they held the Premiers across two legs. 

With 90 minutes standing between the sides and the trophy, will we see a very open game or a cagey clash? 

With both sides desperate to ensure they do not lose the game by making a mistake, it can often make a final incredibly tense. On the other side of things, a team could come out and try to blow the opposition away as they look to ensure they are not beaten by their own nerves. 

Which side will win the A-League grand final this season? Can Auckland FC secure the trophy or will Sydney FC stun the former?
