Newcastle Jets vs Western United Tips & Predictions

Newcastle Jets are on a charge towards the top six after putting together a seven-game unbeaten run. With four wins from their last five games, I'm backing Newcastle in the Double Chance market and also outright as home underdogs.

Head To Head

These two sides have split the last six meetings at three wins apiece in all competitions. Western emerged comfortable 3-1 winners in the most-recent encounter in Round 15, but the Jets are a completely different side these days.

Newcastle Jets Form

No team in the A-League has picked up more points than the Jets across the last seven games.

It's been a stunning resurgence from Newcastle, who's finals hopes were all but extinguished this time last month. It's still a big mountain to climb, but the Jets have given themselves a chance courtesy of their best run in 20 years.

After a 1-1 draw with league leaders Auckland, the Jets were in action mid-week against Melbourne City and pulled off one of the great escapes.

Indeed, City had 27 goal attempts to just five, but Newcastle made the most of their chances, with Lachie Rose calmly slotting home the winner after goalkeeper Noah James earlier made a string of stellar saves.

Japanese recruit Kota Mizunuma is set to return to the squad after he was rested for the mid-week win over City.

Western United Form

While the Jets have impressed over the last few weeks, Western have been one of the form teams in the competition over the last few months.

John Aloisi has done a brilliant job of transforming his team into genuine premiership contenders, with striker Noah Botic topping the goalscoring charts with 10.

Western have won nine of their last 13 games heading into this contest, including the last three straight over Adelaide United (3-0), Central Coast Mariners (3-1) and Wellington Phoenix (4-1).

Those results have propelled Western into second spot on the ladder, six behind leaders Auckland - although they have played one more game.

No major changes for Western this week, with Ben Garuccio still out injured.

Verdict

Newcastle Jets v Western United

The Jets are flying high and can continue their sparkling form by going eight games unbeaten. The double chance market is the best bet with value on a victory for Newcastle.
