2.12Tip and bets
The hosts performed better than their opponents last season, but the Sydney club started this season rather weakly, while the visitors have already managed to win, and their unbeaten streak in away matches has already reached five matches. We believe that Western Sydney Wanderers are unlikely to defeat today opponent, the Newcastle club should earn at least one point.
Our prediction: Newcastle Jets not to lose at 2.05
Bet on total
Both teams rely on attack and rarely leave the field without a goal. In the last round, the match with the participation of "Wanderers" turned out to be extremely productive, and now we are likely to see a game on opposite courses, which should lead to a large number of goals.
The second bet is total over three goals for 1.80
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Forecast - draw in the first half with odds of 2.55
