The visiting Wellington Phoenix’ scoring record is not much better. Their tally is 24 goals. The team are same leaking in defense, having allowed 24 goals.
The sides neighbor in the standings. Newcastle are 7th, just 6 points behind the 6th Wellington. Though the Jets play in front of their own fans tomorrow, we won’t risk and bet on their win. Neither we will do on their guests’ victory though. Both teams are inconsistent. After a solid run of no-loss 9-round streak, in the last 4 clashes, Wellington lost twice and celebrated a solitude win. Newcastle conceded in 3 successive rounds, having broken the series with a victory over the outsiders Central Coast; afterwards, they lost again, yet to the leaders, and then smashed Wester Sydney away, 5:1. At the same time, considering the sides’ leaking defenses and the regularly scoring (though not too effective) attacks, we may expect a goal-exchange tomorrow, which is quite a common thing for the generally effective Australian championship. The teams are presently roughly equal by their level. 6 of 8 latest head-to-heads in Newcastle saw goals at both ends. Either side netted at least once. 6 of 9 Jets’ latest fixtures saw both sides score. 3 Wellington’s latest rounds, however, saw a different outcome. Now it is high time to break this trend. Neither in this campaign, nor in the previous one, Wellington registered over 3 successive rounds wherein the bet on Both teams to score failed. Their tomorrow hosts present a proper side for arranging a goal-exchange. Moreover, in 3 rounds in a row, Wellington have both netted and allowed.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
