Macarthur FC, considered outsiders, are backed to potentially upset Newcastle Jets and secure a second consecutive win this A-League season. Newcastle Jets are struggling, winless in nine of their last ten games, and coming off disappointing cup and league performances. In contrast, Macarthur have a strong recent record both in form and in head-to-head meetings, having avoided defeat in four of their last five matchups against Newcastle and securing a dramatic comeback win in Round 1.

Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur FC Verdict


Macarthur FC are outsiders but can cause an upset and make it two wins from two this season. The Double Chance is the safe play with added value in the match result market.
  • Jets have failed to win nine of their last 10 games in all comps
  • Macarthur have won four of their last six A-League games
  • Macarthur have avoided defeat in four of their last five A-League meetings vs Newcastle
  • Ryan Fraser scored & provided an assist vs Perth after coming on in the 55th minute in R1

Head To Head

This will be the 19th meeting between the two teams in the A-League, with Macarthur holding a slight 7-6 edge, along with five draws.

Macarthur won two of the three encounters last term by thrilling 5-4 and 3-2 scores.

Newcastle Jets Form

It's been a tough little period for Newcastle heading into this clash.

The Jets crashed out at the opening hurdle of their Australia Cup trophy defence against NPL Victoria side Preston Lions before suffering back-to-back 7-1 and 3-1 defeats to J-League teams Kashima and Gamba Osaka in the Asian Champions League Elite.

Former winger Eli Adams returned to McDonald Jones to haunt Newcastle as he provided two assists in Gamba's dominant win.

Newcastle were then left to rue some ill-discipline in their A-League opener last week, conceding two penalties as they settled for a 2-2 draw against rivals Central Coast in the F3 derby.

Macarthur FC Form

Macarthur left it late, but managed to register a come-from-behind victory to secure all three points against Perth at home last week.

The Bulls were largely outplayed in manager Sasa Ognenovski’s first A-League game in charge, but former Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser produced a lively performance off the bench to propel his side to victory, scoring from the spot before laying on the assist with a pin-point free-kick for Jonathan Aspropotamitis's headed winner in the 89th minute.

It was a dream Macarthur debut in the A-League for 32-year-old Fraser, who arrived in the winter from Western Sydney.

Verdict

Macarthur hold the value in this clash - taking the Bulls in both Double Chance & H2H markets.
