Newcastle Jets vs Perth Glory Prediction

The Newcastle Jets have managed just three victories so far this season, whilst Perth Glory have themselves managed just two wins. The home team come into this one on the back of back-to-back defeats against Macarthur and Western United in the last couple of weeks. The visitors, on the other hand, most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to the Western Sydney Wanderers in Western Australia about ten days or so ago. The two sides are average and have combined for just 23 goals throughout this campaign so a low-scoring, low quality encounter is to be expected for this one in New South Wales.

Newcastle Jets vs Perth Glory Tip: Under 2.5 goals
