Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur Prediction

The Newcastle Jets do come into this one on the back of an entertaining 2-2 draw with Sydney in their most recent outing, last weekend. The hosts, though, are struggling down towards the bottom end of the 13-team table with just three victories in their ten matches. They now face a Macarthur side that have been entertaining to watch with their 12 matches consisting of 41 goals but they were most recently beaten 2-1 by Adelaide United due to a late turnaround. However, they were in good form before that and a double chance bet in their favour remains good value for this one.

Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur Tip: Double chance – Macarthur to win or draw
