Perth Glory
Current form
Perth Glory has been among the outsiders of the Australian championship for several years now, and last season they even finished at the bottom of the A-League, having scored only 22 points in 27 matches. The hosts are four points behind their closest competitor. The start of the current regular championship does not bode well either. In the first two rounds, the Perth club lost to MacArthur (1:6) and Wellington Phoenix (0:2) without a chance. Only in the third round did the team manage to score the first point, having drawn with the current champion, Central Coast Mariners (0:0). The second point was scored in an away match with Adelaide United (2:2). In the last round, the hosts lost again, this time to Melbourne Victory (0:2).

Newcastle Jets

The opponents played the last 30 minutes with a man down, but the Jets were unable to recover. In the second round, the team still won their first victory, taking revenge on MacArthur (2:1) for the defeat in the cup.

2.07Tip and bets
The hosts have failed all three home matches this season. However, the team should still win their first game someday. Today they will face an opponent of a similar level, so the chances of a positive outcome are quite high. Let bet on the hosts' success with a zero handicap.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Perth Glory for 1.90
Bet on total
The opponents concede quite a lot, especially the hosts, who reached the mark of 20 conceded goals first in the league. Considering that in each of the last five face-to-face matches four goals were scored, we should expect another productive match. We suggest betting on the total over.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.60
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.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.40
