Adelaide United vs Newcastle Jets Prediction
The Reds are undefeated at home in the A-League. They have won their last five games against the Jets, and the trend could continue. Newcastle have won just once in their last 13 meetings against Adelaide and might struggle again.
The visitors have also failed to score in three of their four away games this term, so Adelaide should eke out a comfortable win.
