Western Sydney Wanderers vs Newcastle Jets Prediction

The Wanderers have been very inconsistent in the league, with five losses and four wins in their last nine games. They have suffered two losses on the spin at home, scoring just once while scoring thrice, and will look to bounce back with a win here.

Aidan Simmons and Thomas Beadling will serve suspensions in this match, while Daniel Margush joined Alex Bonetig on the treatment table after suffering a concussion last week.

The Jets have just one win in their six league games in 2024 thus far, scoring eight times while conceding 12 goals in that period. They are winless in their last four away games, conceding at least thrice in three games in that period while scoring just four goals, and might struggle here.

They are winless in their last five away meetings against the hosts, scoring six goals in that period while conceding 10 times, and will look to improve upon that record.

Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, a draw is likely to ensue.
