Newcastle Jets vs Western United Prediction & Betting Tips (24 July)

Irrespective of who has been in charge, Newcastle Jets home record has made for some dreadful reading in recent times, with the Newcastle Jets suffering a staggering 15 defeats in the Australia Cup matches. This should be music to the ears of a Western United side that has triumphed four times in five trips at this level of late, with one of those wins.

Having suffered a defeat in the first leg of this tie, Western United will have to chase the game, and it is worth noting that 11 of their previous 13 second-tier away matches have produced two goals or more. Given that 16 of the most recent 20 Newcastle Jets home fixtures at this level have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, something similar is expected in this clash.

Newcastle Jets have featured ten times on home soil in the top-flight so far this season, with every single one of these fixtures producing goals at both ends of the pitch, including in a draw with Western United. As for the visitors, they have been no strangers to both scoring and conceding during the same 90 minutes either, doing so in five consecutive away games.
