Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets Match Preview

Perth Glory face Newcastle Jets at HBF Park and they have an opportunity to get even closer to the top spots.

It was the second consecutive victory for the last year's runners up Perth Glory, with a spectacular 0-3 over Melbourne City, and a comfortable win against Wanderers 2-0. Currently, they are 5th with 12 points, it seems that they have regained their confidence. Osama Malik, Dino Djulbic and Joel Chianese will be unavailable due to injuries for Toni Popovic's. He will rely again on his attacking duo Bruno Fornaroli and Diego Castro.

On the other hand, Newcastle Jets have two consecutive defeats in their last two games, against Adelaide United 2-1 and Melbourne City 0-4, in a game that practically they didn't fight at all. Their performance was far below average and they were deservedly defeated. They are sitting quite low in the table and if they do not change things up immediately, they will not be able to fight a spot in the top-six.

Perth Glory were much improved in their last game, and I expect them to get another win in this one against Newcastle Jets. The home team to win is my call, and I also expect them to cover the -1.5 Asian Handicap.
