Newcastle Jets vs Brisbane Roar

At the McDonald Jones Stadium, the Newcastle Jets will host Brisbane Roar for the 23rd round of the Australian A-League.

After the 1-1 draw at home to Sydney FC, the psychology of Newcastle Jets seemed to rise. In the previous game they faced the Central Coast Mariners at home, fought as much as they could for a positive result but did not succeed, and finally they suffered another defeat. So they remain last-placed in the standings with just 14 points in 22 games and will hardly avoid finishing last. Their two next games are away with Melbourne City and Central Coast Mariners.

Brisbane Roar, on the other hand, wants to enter the playoffs. They come from an away defeat from Adelaide United by 1-0. They are in sixth place with 31 points and are tied with Sydney Wanderers and Perth Glory. They will fight in the remaining games for entering the top-six.

This is a one-sided affair, with the guests being in better condition and in need of the points. My choice is the away win.
