Wellington Phoenix vs Newcastle Jets prediction

Two teams who have struggled defensively over the course of the season do battle on Sunday. No team has conceded more league goals this campaign than Newcastle Jets, who have shipped 16 goals in total at an average of over two per game. That goes a long way as to why they currently sit bottom of the table with five defeats from seven matches.

Wellington Phoenix meanwhile, are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, having given up 11 goals in total. Only three clubs, including the Jets have conceded more times and the expectation is that a high-scoring encounter is on the cards between these two teams. Consider backing over 2.5 goals over the course of 90 minutes, which we’ve seen in three of the last four league games involving both Wellington and Newcastle.

Wellington Phoenix vs Newcastle Jets tip: Over 2.5 goals
