Melbourne City vs Newcastle Jets Prediction

Melbourne City come into this one on the back of a comfortable and impressive 2-0 victory over Macarthur at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in their most recent outing the other day thanks to a brace of goals in either half from striker Max Caputo. They have now collected ten points from their last four matches in the Australian A League. They now face a Newcastle Jets side that have actually themselves enjoyed a good run of form as they try and push up the table with the visitors’ 1-1 draw at home to league leaders Auckland at the weekend now meaning they are now unbeaten in their last six matches. Given the fact that both sides are in impressive form ahead of their clash this week, both teams scoring looks a good bet.
