Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur FC Tips & Prediction
Newcastle Jets continue to chase A-League history as they prepare to host Macarthur FC on Sunday afternoon at McDonald Jones Stadium.
The Jets are currently flying high at the top of the table, bringing an extraordinary seven-match winning streak into this clash. Newcastle are now just three wins away from equaling the A-League record for most consecutive victories, held by the Wanderers over a decade ago. The Jets are playing box office football, scoring a whopping 40 goals in their 17 games - 12 better than the next-best side. Meanwhile, Macarthur's form is beginning to tail off and they head into this clash with just one win in their last eight games in all competitions - including suffering a disappointing AFC Champions League 2 elimination at the hands of Bangkok United mid-week.
With fatigue possibly a factor in this short turnaround, you've got to think this is a great chance for the Jets to keep their momentum rolling at home. Revenge will also be on their mind after they somehow lost a thrilling Boxing Day showdown 5-4 earlier this season. Eli Adams has a fantastic record against the Bulls and can get on the scoresheet in another high-scoring affair.

Macarthur FC Form Analysis
It's been a tough little period for Macarthur, but they remain in fifth spot on the ladder with a 6-7-4 record coming into this clash.
However, Macarthur have won just one of their last eight games and the wheels might just be starting to fall off after juggling Champions League commitments throughout the campaign.
The Bulls won't have to worry about that anymore though, losing 4-2 on aggregate to Bangkok United in the R16, including a 2-2 draw on Thursday at Campbelltown.
"The boys gave a lot of effort tonight, we just lacked a bit in the final third," manager Mile Sterjovski said after his side were eliminated.
"I felt like there were a lot of calls that went against us and a lot of time wasting, the penalty could have gone either way, I'd have to see it again.
"I believe in the players and their qualities but it's about how much we want to finish it (the A-League season) strongly."
