Newcastle Jets vs Brisbane Roar Tips & Prediction


Newcastle Jets will be out for revenge when they play host to a slumping Brisbane Roar side at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday in the A-League.

The Jets are flying high, coming into this clash on a four-game winning streak and surging into second spot on the ladder, just one point behind leaders Auckland. Newcastle are the competition's resident entertainers, scoring a whopping 30 goals across 14 rounds - seven more than the next best team, with Mark Milligan's side heading into this clash following a crushing 4-1 victory over Wellington last week. Meanwhile, the Roar have come crashing back down to earth after a bright start to the season, losing four of their last five games - including a heartbreaking stoppage time defeat to Adelaide last week.

Part of Brisbane's encouraging start to the campaign included a dominant 3-0 win over the Jets, but this is a different and more consistent Newcastle outfit - and now the Hunter side have home ground advantage too. The Jets are firing on all cylinders, with their young team playing a stellar attacking brand of football that is lighting up the competition. Backing the Jets with both teams finding the back of the net, with striker Lachie Rose getting back amongst the goals.
  • Jets are on a four-game winning streak
  • Jets have won six of their last seven games
  • Jets have won four of their last five A-League games over Roar
  • Roar have lost four of their last five games
  • Jets have conceded in 12 of their 14 games this season
  • Roar have scored in four of their last seven games
  • Lachie Rose is the top scorer for the Jets this season with six goals
  • The winning team has scored exactly three goals in three of the last five meetings between the teams

Newcastle Jets vs Brisbane Roar Head To Head

The Jets have prevailed in four of the last five A-League encounters between the teams, but the Roar were dominant 3-0 winners back in Round 4, with Lucas Herrington and Jay O'Shea getting on the scoresheet. James Delianov was credited with an own goal in the final minutes.

Newcastle Jets Form Analysis

It's been an electric season for the Jets - they've compiled a 8-0-6 record on the season and flying high in second spot on the ladder.

Newcastle bring a four-game winning streak into this Round 15 showdown, beating Auckland, Melbourne City, the Wanderers and Wellington, scoring 10 goals in the process.

Mark Milligan has done a remarkable job in his first season in charge of the Jets, backing his young side to play free-flowing attacking football.

Lachlan Bayliss scored an absolute screamer from outside the box after just 21 seconds to set the tone in last week's 4-1 dispatch of Wellington, with Clayton Taylor, Eli Adams and Xaver Bertoncello also getting on the scoresheet.

Goalkeeper James Delianov has also improved considerably over the last couple of weeks after some costly, error-ridden performances to begin the season.

Brisbane Roar Form Analysis

The Roar head into this contest with a 6-3-6 record on the season, slipping to sixth on the ladder after a recent poor run of form.

It was an encouraging start to the season for Brisbane, but they've struggled over the last month or so and could find themselves tumbling out of the top six after this weekend.

Brisbane have lost four of their last five games, with their physical brand of football not sustainable enough to generate long-term positive results.

Michael Valkanis' side twice went ahead at home against Adelaide last week courtesy of goals to Chris Long and Sam Klein, but they ultimately went down 3-2 after conceding a second-half hat-trick to Reds teenager Brody Burkitt.

The Jets are on fire and backed to make it five straight wins against a slumping Brisbane side at home, with both teams finding the back of the net.
