Wellington vs Newcastle Jets: Top Free Betting Tips

In this A-League fixture, Newcastle Jets travel to Sky Stadium for their duel with Wellington Phoenix. Both sides are fighting for playoff slots and are only separated by a solitary point.

Match Result Prediction: Newcastle Jets to Win

Wellington Phoenix gave a good account of themselves as they earned an impressive 1-1 draw against second-placed Central Coast Mariners on the road. They will be wary of their next rivals, who claimed the win over them in the reverse fixture. The Jets have three wins to their name in their last five outings, the most recent of which was on the road. They stand as the form team in A-League at the moment and should have enough in the tank to claim three points at the Phoenix's expense.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Recent weeks have seen both Wellington and Newcastle attacks come into their own. The hosts have scored 8 goals and conceded the same amount. The visiting Jets have scored 10 while shipping in 6 in the same period. With both sides scoring and conceding goals aplenty, we expect goals at both ends of the Sky Stadium as a result. Our prediction in further supported by their recent results in 2022, two of which saw both teams get on the scoreboard.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-3 to Newcastle Jets

Both Wellington and Newcastle have scored regularly in recent weeks. Moreover, both have to work on their defensive units, which have left a lot to be desired. Given their respective tendency to score and concede, we are backing a high scoring result at the Sky Stadium, one that finished 2-3 in favour of the visiting Jets.
