Melbourne City Newcastle Jets betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a challenge where both teams will seek to resume the path of good results. The biggest responsibility will still lie with Melbourne City, who play at home looking to solidify 2nd place against the the last team on the A-League leaderboard. They are looking forward to a game dominated by the runner up against a Newcastle Jets that, however, may be able to disturb City's fragile defence, as the team goes to AAMI Park with some more time under the successor of the fired Ernie Merrick.

Preview
Melbourne City and Newcastle Jets meet at AAMI Park, in a match for the 15th round of the A‑League. Melbourne City got an away win by (0‑4), in the last league head‑to‑head, played in 15‑12‑2019. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last 8 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 06‑01‑2019, in a match for the A‑League, Melbourne City won by (2‑1). The goals of the match were scored by R. McGree (27' ) and L. Brattan (32' ), for Melbourne City, and by R. O'Donovan (4' ), for Newcastle Jets.

Analysis Melbourne City

The home team is currently in the 2nd position of the league, with 23 points won, after 7 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Western United, by (3‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Brisbane Roar, by (2‑2). In the last 6 home league matches Melbourne City has a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 18 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 11 of the last 14 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times, but have turned the score around in 2.

In the runner-up of the leaderboard, Melbourne City already have a considerable distance, which stands at 11 points, against the leaders Sydney as they enter the 15th round of the A-League. They have lost points in three of their last four league games in a run of matches where they only won while hosting Western United (3-2) two matches ago. Last week Erick Mombaerts's side didn't go beyond a 2-2 draw on a visit to Brisbane Roar in a match where they met the draw on two occasions with goals from Craig Noone and Nathaniel Atkinson. Notwithstanding the superiority shown to the final whistle, Melbourne City failed to reach their long-awaited winning goal and once again widened the gap to Sydney's lead with Perth Glory and Wellington Phoenix both on just two points less.

Confirmed Lineup: Dean Bouzanis, Scott Jamieson, Curtis Good, Harrison Delbridge, Nathaniel Atkinson, Joshua Brillante, Lachlan Wales, Florin Berenguer, Craig Noone, Adrian Luna, Jamie MacLaren.
Coach: P. Kisnorbo.

Analysis Newcastle

The away team is currently in the 11th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 2 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Melbourne Victory, by (4‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Sydney, by (1‑2). In the last 6 away league matches Newcastle Jets has a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, so they have won 4 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 12 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

The Newcastle Jets team have been the weakest of these first 14 rounds of the Australian championship, unsurprisingly occupying the 11th and bottom place on the 15th round. Last weekend, the Jets played their first game following the departure of Scotsman Ernie Merrick, provisionally replaced by Craig Deans. An unhappy debut for the 45-year-old Australian as Newcastle Jets were beaten 2-1 at home to champions and current leaders Sydney. With a goal conceded early in the 14th minute, the team responded only seven minutes later through Steven Ugarkovic. A response without major consequences, as Sydney would return to the advantage in the first half, eventually controlling the game in the second half, without allowing the Jets, who added the fifth defeat in the last five games.

Confirmed Lineup: Lewis Italiano, Lachlan Jackson, Jason Hoffman, Bobby Burns, Nikolai Topor-Stanley, Matthew Millar, Ben Kantarovski, Steven Ugarkovic, Nick Fitzgerald, Abdiel Arroyo, Dimitri Petratos.
Coach: A. Papastamatis.
