Newcastle Jets vs Western United Predictions

• A league-high 20 games involving Newcastle Jets produced over 2.5 total goals.
• Ten of Newcastle Jets’ 12 home league games produced at least three goals.
• Western United’s last three games averaged exactly three goals per-game.

Can the Jets lift off at home?

After winning 3-0 in their away game at Macarthur last time out, Newcastle Jets are eyeing back-to-back A-League wins for the first time since March as they look to get their possible challenge for a top-half finish back on track.

Games involving Newcastle are often rip-roaring affairs, with the 84 goals scored in games involving them representing a league-high. That equates to a sizeable 3.5 average total goals per-game and ultimately 20 of their 24 outings producing over 2.5 goals (83%).

Western United eyeing up a title push

Just two points from the peak of the table, Western United come into this game knowing that victory is a must if they have hopes of keeping pace with the two sides above them.

Western’s games have been much more tame in terms of goals, with six of their 11 away league games this term producing under 2.5 in total. However, we think that Newcastle’s style of play could drag Western into a goal-fuelled encounter.

We predict that this game will see over 2.5 goals, but that the visiting side may well be too good on the day. As such, we are going for a smaller stakes selection on a 3-2 away win.
