Melbourne Victory vs Newcastle Jets Tips & Predictions
Melbourne Victory will be out for revenge and look to bring some winning momentum into the finals when they host Newcastle Jets in the final game of the A-League regular season on Sunday at AAMI Park.

After suffering a shock 3-0 loss to the Jets in their only previous meeting this season, Victory will be aiming to turn the tables at AAMI Park as they finalise their preparations for the upcoming finals series.
Victory still have a very outside shot at finishing in the top two, but they would need Melbourne City, Western United and the Wanderers all to lose and then defeat the Jets with a four-goal swing. Perhaps a more realistic scenario, Victory can finish in the top four and secure a home elimination final if either of Western and the Wanderers fail to win and they proceed to defeat the Jets.
I think the goals will flow here, with the Jets confirmed to finish in ninth spot on the ladder. Newcastle have scored at least one goal in 18 of their last 19 games, while Victory have seen a total of 27 goals in their last six outings. Backing Over 3.5 goals and Victory prevailing with both teams finding the back of the net.
- Victory have won three of their last four games
- Jets have lost three of their last four games
- Jets have seen Over 3.5 goals in two of their last three games
- Victory have seen Over 3.5 goals in three of their last five games
- Victory have seen 27 goals in their last six games
- Jets have scored in 18 of their last 19 games
Head To Head
As mentioned, the Jets stunned Victory with a 3-0 win at McDonald Jones Stadium back in Round 18, which was the only previous meeting between the teams this season.
Melbourne Victory Form
Victory are in decent form heading into the finals and they certainly won't fear any club in the top six as they chase Grand Final glory over the coming month.
Three wins in their last four games have propelled Victory into fifth spot on the ladder and with a chance at finishing in the top four if other results go their way this weekend.
Attack hasn't been an issue for Victory over the last month or so - they've defeated Adelaide 5-3 and Wellington 3-2, while their most-recent clash last week resulted in a 2-1 triumph over Macarthur.
Melbourne Victory Team News
Victory have a full compliment of players to choose from for this clash.
Newcastle Jets Form
Overall, it's been a solid season for the Jets, who put together the club's longest unbeaten streak (seven games) earlier in the campaign and are confirmed to finish in ninth spot.
Rob Stanton has done a terrific job with limited resources and an extremely inexperienced squad, but unfortunately he will manage his last game as Jets head coach after announcing he would be moving on at season's end.
After seeing their slim finals chances evaporate after blowing a 2-0 lead over Sydney FC, the Jets were flat in a 1-0 defeat at home to the Wanderers last week.
Newcastle Jets Team News
Stanton is expected to name a similar line-up to the side that went down to the Wanderers last week.
Verdict
Over 3.5 goals is predicted in what is shaping as an open game, while Victory are backed to prevail with both teams finding the back of the net.
