Newcastle Jets Team News: Couple of issues

Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): James; Cancar, Grozos, Natta; Aquilina, Timmins, M’Mombwa, Wilmering; Adams, Taylor; Rose

Questionable: Mizunuma (Fitness)

Newcastle Jets vs Western United Prediction

The Newcastle Jets most recently defeated Melbourne City by a goal to nil at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium the other day thanks to a 69th minute strike scored by Lachlan Rose. The home team have now enjoyed four victories with three draws in their last seven matches in the A League. They now face a Western United side that enjoyed their third successive victory as they defeated Wellington Phoenix by four goals to one the other day too mean they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting second in the table. These are two in-form sides and both teams scoring would therefore appear a good bet for this one.
