Western United vs Newcastle Jets Preview & Prediction

Two teams languishing at the wrong end of the ladder face off on Friday night as Western United welcome the Newcastle Jets to AAMI Park.

It’s been a nightmare campaign for Western – they’ve won just two of their 15 games to be anchored to the bottom of the table, scoring just 13 goals and leaking 33.

All up, Western have lost 11 of their 15 games for the season and they will do well to avoid the wooden spoon from here on in.

Meanwhile, the Jets continue to fight hard, but they just lack the quality to consistently match most of the sides in the competition.

Newcastle also have a habit of conceding late goals, which happened again last week as they handed the Wanderers a 3-3 draw.

The Jets have now drawn their last two games, while Western have drawn two of the last four – perhaps a share of the spoils between two lowly sides is the value bet on Friday night?

VERDICT:

Can’t confidently back either team to win this, so a draw does look good here in the H2H market.

As for our best bet, BTTS should land. Western haven’t kept a clean sheet all season, while the Jets have leaked goals in 14 of their 17 outings. Five of the last seven meetings have also seen both teams score (Best BTTS – Yes odds $1.50 with bet365.)
