Newcastle Jets - Wellington Phoenix: betting tip for the Australian Championship match
As part of the 25th round of the Australian A-League, Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix will meet. Both teams are not in the playoff zone and are unlikely to be able to compete for anything serious. The hosts are in ninth place, and the guests are in 11th place. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on April 6th? The answer is in our betting tip for this match

Command Analysis

Newcastle Jets

Current form
At the beginning of the season, the Newcastle Jets were considered one of the obvious outsiders of the Australian championship, but recently they have managed to correct the situation a little. However, the club is unlikely to be able to reach the playoff zone, as the gap to the sixth place is seven points, and there are only five rounds left to play. The team from New South Wales is not always successful. For example, in the last two rounds, the hosts lost to Western United (2-6) and drew with MacArthur (3-3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Oscar Frier will miss the match due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last nine matches.
- The hosts have conceded nine goals in the last two matches.
Approximate composition: James - Susnyar, Chanchar, Grozos - Ingham, Timmins, Bayliss, Wilmering - Adams, Rose, Aquilinha

Wellington Phoenix

Current form
Wellington Phoenix showed great football last season, but it has deteriorated significantly in the current championship draw. The team suddenly found itself among the main outsiders and now ranks 11th out of 13. It is now obvious that the New Zealand team will not get into the playoffs. The guests won their last victory on January 20th. Recently, the club suffered a series of four defeats in a row - from Melbourne Victory (0:1), Auckland (1:6), Melbourne City (0:1) and Western United (1:4). In the last two rounds, the visitors drew with Sydney FC (1-1) and Western Sydney Wanderers (2-2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Kolakowski, Hughes, Kelly-Heald, Retre and Wootton are missing due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has not won for eight rounds in a row
- In the last three head-to-head matches, the New Zealanders have never lost to today's opponent.
Approximate line-up: Oluwayemi - Sutton, Sheridan, Payne, Piper-Kelly, Nagasawa-Brooke-Smith, Geraldes, Ishige-Barbarouses

1.62Tip and bets
A couple of weeks ago, the victory of the hosts in this match would have been beyond doubt - the team was on the rise and beat even superior opponents. But in the last two rounds, the club suffered a major home defeat against Western United and missed out on a win against MacArthur. At the same time, the guests managed to score points in duels with playoff-level clubs, Sydney and Western Sydney Wanderers. In face-to-face matches, the Wellington club performs quite successfully, so there is a possibility that it will be possible to take away points from the Jets today.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1) for Wellington Phoenix at 1.70
Bet on the total
The hosts are having huge problems playing defensively, as evidenced by the nine goals conceded in the last two matches. Most likely, the guests will take this into account when preparing for the match and will try to play in an attacking manner. Most likely, this will lead to a large number of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.60
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. Obviously, it will take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.50
