Newcastle Jets Melbourne Victory betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 11^th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Perth Glory, by (2‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Central Coast Mariners, by (2‑2). Interestingly enough, this is a team that has had better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 10 points in away matches and only 2 at their stadium. In the last 6 home league matches Newcastle has a record of 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 2 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 8 of their 14 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The Newcastle Jets are neither moving forward nor backwards in the league table. They've been in 11th and last place for many days now. It's starting to become clear that they're a team superior to Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar, the bottom two, but well below the rest of the competition. Only under very special conditions could the Newcastle Jets climb further up the league table. In this 18th round it's time to welcome Melbourne Victory, who are still fighting for first place, despite being eight points off the pace. Newcastle Jets have not fared well against them. In their last 5 meetings with Melboune Victory, the Newcastle Jets have only won 1, lost 2 and drawn 2.

Confirmed Lineup: Noah James, Thomas Aquilina, Phillip Cancar, Mark Natta, Daniel Wilmering, Lachlan Bayliss, Kosta Grozos , Callum Timmins, Eli Adams, Ben Gibson, Clayton Taylor.
Coach: M. Milligan.
