Command Analysis

Newcastle Jets

Current form

Last season, the Newcastle Jets finished the regular season only in tenth place, having failed to compete for a place in the playoffs. It didn't get any better in the new championship draw, the team even dropped to 11th place, where it is at the moment. Only Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar are below. The club is already six points behind the tenth Wellington, and the playoff zone is already 12 points away. It is clear that it is unlikely to succeed in competing for the top 6. Since the beginning of 2025, the hosts have managed to win only one victory. On January 7, the Newcastle team managed to beat the last team in the league, Brisbane Roar (1-0). After that, the hosts suffered two defeats and drew twice.

Disqualifications and injuries

Oscar Frier, Nathan Grimaldi, Dale Ingham and Aleksandar Susnyar will not play due to injuries.

Interesting betting trends

Approximate composition: Scott - Wilmering, Grozos, Natta, Bayliss - Taylor, Rose, Mombwa, Aquilinha - Wellisol, Timmins.

Melbourne Victory

Current form

Melbourne Victory is the current A-League finalist and has no plans to perform worse this season. The club is in third place in the standings, but at any moment it can drop several places at once - seventh Melbourne City is only one point behind. After a series of six matches without a win, the guests still managed to pull themselves together and won two victories in a row - over Sydney FC (2:0) and Perth Glory (2:0). Arthur Dyles' team will try to bring the series to three wins, because they will have to play with one of the championship's outsiders.

The guests have no particular problems with the composition. The only thing in question is the appearance of Lachlan Jackson on the field.

Interesting betting trends

The team has won the last three victories with a dry score

Tip and bets

TipMelbourne Victory victory

1.77

The guests had a very bad start to 2025, but they managed to get out of the crisis and have already won two matches in a row, returning to the top three. You can't lose points because there's a whole group of teams behind you. The Newcastle Jets have been playing a pretty weak game throughout the season, so it's unlikely that the hosts will be able to score points today. We believe that a motivated Melbourne Victory will be able to achieve the desired result.
