Sydney FC vs Newcastle Jets Betting Tips

The home side haven’t been playing to their full potential of late and haven’t won any of their last 4 matches. However they are still 5th in the division and only 3 points off the top so it is far too early to talk about a crisis at Sydney.

They are 1 point and 1 place above their opponents on Friday in the A-League. Newcastle Jets have almost mirrored Sydney this season, making a lively start to the campaign with wins against Wellington, Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory in their opening 4 matches. However they’ve also taken just 3 points from 4 games since then so neither side approach this in the best of form.

Both clubs will be desperate to get back to winning ways here but it has the makings of a tight cagey affair. 3 of Sydney’s last 4 games have resulted in 0-0 draws so they aren’t really at their best in the final third but will be confident of keeping things quiet at the other end.

Newcastle’s last 3 games have only produced a total of 4 goals and their last away match was a 0-0 draw at Adelaide. There was also only 1 goal when these sides met in Newcastle earlier on in the campaign with Sydney emerging 1-0 victors. Therefore odds of 11/10 for there to be 2 or fewer goals in this match certainly seem generous.

One goal could well settle it again and Sydney have just a little bit more quality and with home advantage this time, they could well repeat their 1-0 victory from when the sides last met. Therefore consider backing Sydney to win 1-0 at 7/1.
