Auckland vs Newcastle Jets Prediction

Auckland have started the season extremely well as part of Bill Foley’s conglomerate alongside Lorient and AFC Bournemouth. The New Zealanders begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting at the top-of-the-table with four wins out of four. They now face a Newcastle Jets side that have won one and lost three of their opening four matches so Auckland will be expected to edge them out, especially with their home advantage.
