Newcastle Jets vs Melbourne Victory prediction
Newcastle Jets were involved in a thriller to begin the A-League season but their lack of defensive nous cost them as they lost by three goals to two against Central Coast Mariners. Whilst their offensive potency was impressive, they’ll struggle to pick up points if they don’t tighten up at the back with their games not getting any easier moving forward.
Melbourne Victory’s 0-0 draw last time out against Auckland FC saw two strong sides cancel each other out and the Victory will expect to be afforded more joy from an attacking perspective in this game. If they can maintain the high performance levels we saw from them defensively then they stand a great chance in this contest, so backing the visitors is a play worth making if done via the draw no bet market for extra security.
