Newcastle Jets vs Auckland FC prediction
Newcastle Jets and Auckland FC are set for this big match-up but it’s the latter who need to win the game more when you look at the table. As it stands Auckland FC are four points behind the table topping Newcastle Jets so victory here would be priceless for them and put them right back in the hunt for that top spot. However, losing would see Newcastle Jets begin to pull away at the summit and establish a real cushion.
Despite being away from home, Auckland really need to go for it and hope that their backline, which is the joint-strongest in the league as it stands can minimise the expected attacking threat of the Jets. That’s easier said than done against the best offense in the Australian top flight by some margin. With that in mind, it’s well worth backing over 2.5 goals over the course of this game.
Newcastle Jets vs Auckland FC tip: Over 2.5 goals
