Macarthur FC vs Newcastle Jets Tips & Prediction - Jets target ninth away win of the season
In the upcoming A-League Round 23 match, Newcastle Jets aim to extend their leadership position as they face Macarthur FC. The Jets enjoy a four-point lead at the table's summit, having secured a 10-match unbeaten streak away. Despite Macarthur breaking an eight-match winless streak, they are still deemed inconsistent. Newcastle's strong road performance, highlighted by recent victories, puts them as favorites against a vulnerable Macarthur. The Jets' history of low-scoring games points to an anticipated result of under 3.5 goals, with Eli Adams a key figure if included.

Macarthur FC vs Newcastle Jets Tips & Prediction
Newcastle Jets are aiming to increase their lead at the top of the table when they go on the road to face Macarthur FC to launch A-League Round 23 action on Thursday night at Campbelltown Stadium.
The Jets continue to fly high heading into the Easter long weekend, enjoying a four-point buffer at the top of the ladder over Auckland FC. Newcastle made it 10 straight games unbeaten on the road this term with a 2-1 victory over Sydney FC before the break, while Macarthur snapped an eight-game winless run in all competitions with a shock 2-1 triumph over Auckland across the Tasman, reigniting their finals charge.
Despite that upset win, I still can't believe the bookies have Macarthur as slight favourites in this one. They remain one of the most erratic and unreliable teams in the A-League, while the Jets have more than proven themselves this term, putting together a consistent period of success and wins on the board.
Have to back Newcastle given their tremendous road record (they're also unbeaten in their last four trips to Campbelltown), while the Jets - despite their enterprising attacking football - have been trending Under 3.5 goals lately. Eli Adams has a fantastic record against Macarthur and if he's back in the squad, he's the Anytime Goalscorer pick.

Macarthur FC vs Newcastle Jets Head To Head
These two teams have split their two previous meetings this season at one win apiece. Macarthur prevailed 5-4 in a Boxing Day thriller before the Jets dug out a 1-0 victory in Round 18 courtesy of Lachie Bayliss' 54th minute strike.
Macarthur FC Form Analysis
It's been a wild season for Macarthur as they head into this clash with a 7-7-8 record and in sixth spot on the ladder.
The Bulls started the season strongly, but perhaps juggling continental football caused some fatigue as the team faded in late January.
Macarthur went on an eight-game winless run as they were knocked out of Asia by Bangkok United and tumbled out of the finals spots in the A-League.
However, Mile Sterjovski's side produced a resurgent 2-1 win over second-placed Auckland before the break, with Rafael Durán and Tomislav Uskok's goals sending them back into the top six.

Newcastle Jets Form Analysis
It's been a dream season for the Jets, who come into this contest four points clear at the top of the ladder, winning 14 of their 22 games.
Newcastle responded brilliantly to their first defeat since Boxing Day against Auckland a couple of weeks ago, scoring a dramatic late winner to conquer Sydney FC 2-1 at Allianz.
Japanese veteran Kota Mizunuma put the Jets in front with a glorious strike in the opening half, but the Jets couldn't hold out Sydney after the break, conceding midway through the second half.
The game appeared destined for a share of the spoils before Xavier Bertoncello made a late dash down the flank, delivering a pinpoint cross for Ben Gibson, who made no mistake with his finish to send the Jets fans into euphoric celebrations.
Newcastle are now nine games unbeaten on the road, winning eight.
