In the 18th round of the A-League, Newcastle Jets will host Macarthur. The match forecast for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Newcastle Jets
The Jets, with 18 points, currently occupy the eleventh position, second to last, in the A-League. Only a miracle could assist Newcastle in grasping a playoff spot this season. The team's recent form is particularly disheartening, garnering merely 6 points in the last 8 matches. Last week, Newcastle had the opportunity to improve its standing but succumbed to a 0-2 defeat against the weakest team in the A-League, Western United.
Macarthur
Macarthur holds the fourth position, yet this week does not unfold favorably for the team. On Thursday, Macarthur was eliminated from the AFC Cup in the Round of 16, losing to Central Coast Mariners in overtime. Before that, Macarthur's undefeated streak of 8 matches was halted by a defeat to Wellington Phoenix. Nevertheless, setbacks against two leaders of this A-League season may not necessarily signify a decline.
Interesting facts about the match and the head-to-head history
- Macarthur has been unable to secure victory against Newcastle in three consecutive matches.
- In the history of their encounters, encompassing 9 matches, both teams share 3 victories and 3 draws.
- In the current season, Newcastle and Macarthur played to a 1-1 draw.
Newcastle vs Macarthur prediction
Macarthur has had significantly less time for rest and preparation for the match, so one cannot rule out rotations in their lineup. Considering Newcastle's recent results, I lack confidence in their triumph; therefore, I am betting on an X2 outcome.
