Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets Betting Tips & Predictions

Brisbane Roar have done well keeping up with the leaders so far this season, and with just two games remaining in the regular season they have as good a chance as any to claim the top spot before the playoffs.

They are one point behind leaders Western Sydney Wanderers, who won on Friday, and level on points with Melbourne City. The Roar do have a game in hand on Western Sydney Wanderers, so all they need to do is win both of their remaining matches and hope that Melbourne City slip up.

They can start on Sunday by beating Newcastle Jets, a feat that should be well within their capabilities. Brisbane Roar have won three of their last four matches in the A-League and have an excellent home record this season. They have won 10 of their 13 matches at the Suncorp Stadium this season, losing just once and drawing the remaining two games.

Newcastle Jets are just playing for pride at this point in time. Their 27 point total leaves them ten points adrift of the playoff positions and down in 8th position. If they win their remaining two matches they could potentially finish the season in 7th ahead of Sydney FC.

However, they have lost three of their last four and drawn the remaining one, and away from home they have lost five, drawn two, and won one of their last nine games in the A-League.

This should be a comfortable win for the hosts on Sunday. They are playing a team who are out of form and have no motivation at the moment and have an excellent home record themselves. Three of Newcastle Jets last four away defeats have been by more than a single goal margin, and Brisbane Roar have scored a huge 17 goals in their last five home matches.

This, in addition to the fact that Newcastle Jets have only scored four goals in their last nine trips away, makes odds of 1.600 for a Brisbane Roar -1.0 Asian Handicap Win look excellent value. I’m going for a 3-0 correct score prediction at 10/1 as well.
