Football – Australia – A-League Betting Tips

Saturday evening sees third placed Brisbane Roar take on bottom half outfit Newcastle Jets at the Suncorp Stadium with the hosts looking to reduce the deficit on second placed Melbourne Victory.

A win on Saturday could see Brisbane Roar move within two points of the Victory, and they’ll be wanting to apply this pressure as Melbourne Victory travel to Adelaide United a little later in the evening. Brisbane are coming off a 2-0 loss away at A-League leaders Sydney FC so they’ll be wanting to bounce back with a win here today.

Prior to last weekend’s defeat, Brisbane had put together a 10-match unbeaten run so they’ll be quietly confident that they can extend their unbeaten sequence on home turf today to further improve their home record which stands at  3-3-0  10/4. Only Sydney FC possess a better defensive record at home than Roar having conceded 3 goals.

Visitors Newcastle Jets sit in 7th place on the A-League ladder as they’ve registered just three league wins so far this season, two of which have been achieved at their McDonald Jones Stadium with wins over tonight’s opponents Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United.

However, the Jets’ form on the road has been the cause for some concern in the Newcastle camp as they’ve won just once on their travels, which was a rare 2-1 win at Perth Glory. An away record of  1-1-4  7/13 tells its own story, and Newcastle have lost four of their last five on the road.

Defeats suffered at Wellington Phoenix, Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory 2-0 and 4-2 respectively suggest they’ll struggle in Brisbane here today.
