Newcastle Jets spent their last five-match segment of the tournament distance like their upcoming counterpart. They scored only three goals, and even those were scored with great difficulty. In the match against Sydney FC (1: 1), the Jets managed to score only from the penalty spot. As for the match against Brisbane Roar (1-2), the opponents' midfielder O'Shea helped by scoring an own goal.
Despite the intermediate 3rd place, the hosts cannot boast of high production. They scored only 33 goals, and only Macarthur and three outsiders have worse figures. But there is a relative order in defense (29 conceded goals). This is the third indicator in the league on par with Melbourne City, and only the defense of Sydney FC (23) and Brisbane Roar (25) is more reliable. Newcastle Jets have huge problems in the attack. They scored only three goals in the last five rounds and only 19 times in the entire championship. But if we look at the defense, not everything is so bad for the team that occupies the last place (36 conceded goals). According to this indicator, Newcastle overtook five A-League clubs, including Adelaide United, which is in 4th position. In the last three head-to-head meetings, the opponents did not please the fans with an abundance of goals scored. The first one ended in a goalless draw, and the other two games brought Central Coast Mariners modest 1-0 victories. It is very likely that the upcoming confrontation will not be rich in goals scored, as both teams have problems in the attack.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
