Premier League Betting at Bet Victor
Newcastle Jets Prediction
Newcastle Jets have produced mixed and inconsistent results in recent matches as they’ve won and lost alternately in their last five matches overall; recent wins against Western Sydney Wanderers, Brisbane Roar and Central Coast Mariners – the latter being a 2-1 away win in the F1 derby, have been offset by defeats to Melbourne City and Perth Glory.
The hosts have actually won just three in their last 10 matches though, and have registered just one win at home this season in their four matches played at the McDonald Jones Stadium, which was a 2-0 win over second from bottom club Brisbane Roar.
Newcastle’s home record stands at 1-1-2 3/4 and the bigger picture tells us that The Jets have registered just two league wins from their last eight matches on home turf in the A-League so there’s no guarantees of picking up points in this clash either.
Adelaide United Prediction
Adelaide United sit one league position and one point above their hosts Newcastle Jets ahead of this Sunday’s clash on the Central Coast, but the visitors will be looking to break a recent run of three league matches without a win.
Back-to-back defeats to Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City were followed by a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Western Sydney Wanderers, so Adelaide will be keen to return to winning ways here.
Adelaide United have played just three away matches in the A-League so far but have registered wins at Central Coast Mariners and Wellington Phoenix, but lost last time out at league leaders, Melbourne Victory.
However, Adelaide will believe they can get something from their trip to Newcastle today with the likes of forwards Goodwin (3 goals), Mileusnic and Ilso (2 goals apiece).
Betting Tips Verdict
Both teams have shown inconsistent form so far this season but I feel the visitors, Adelaide United, stand a good chance of at least a point in this encounter.
