Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC Prediction: The Away side Appears Prepared

When they square off against one another at the McDonald Jones Stadium on the first day of 2023, both the Newcastle Jets and Sydney FC will be looking to get off to a strong start in the new year.

The team playing at home won their most recent match and are looking to make it two victories in a row, while the team travelling to their stadium is looking to end a skid of two consecutive defeats. Below are expert preview and betting tips, coupled with odds.

Newcastle Jets (WLLWL)

On Tuesday, Newcastle Jets won 1-0 against Adelaide United at Coopers Stadium. This was a close game, but the Jets were able to hold off the Reds. The team managed by Arthur Papas's Jaushua Sotirio notched the game's first goal in the 25th minute, and it proved out to be the deciding factor in a tightly contested matchup.

After their most recent victory, the Jets have moved up one spot to sixth place in the table of the Australian A-League, putting them one point ahead of the teams that are following after them in the quest for the final slot in the playoffs.

Following this, they will have the difficulty of competing against an adversary who does not have much of an advantage, given that the last 13 iterations of this match have resulted in four victories apiece for both teams, as well as five draws.

Due to the fact that the hosts have been defeated in their last two games at home leading up to the match on Sunday, they will be motivated to get back on track in front of their supporters.

Macarthur FC humiliated Sydney FC to the tune of 3-0 at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday after handing Sydney FC a sound beating. Macarthur FC's performance left Sydney FC looking quite foolish.

The Newcastle Jets are presently sixth in the A-League table with 12 points after nine matches, which is the same number of points as Adelaide United, who are currently in fifth place.

In terms of the over/under markets, 9 out of their most recent 15 matches have finished with at least three goals being scored. This suggests that the over/under will probably be hit at some point. BTTS results have been seen in 7 of their last 15 fixtures.

Sydney FC (LLWWL)

After a humiliating 3-0 loss to Macarthur FC at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday, Sydney FC players and coaches were left in tears.

After Steve Corica's team went down to a first-half deficit due to Bachana Arabuli's opening goal, Ulises Davila and Arabuli scored in the second half to put an end to any remaining suspense about the outcome of the match.

The Sky Blues are now 10th in the standings with a total of 10 points after playing nine games this season; yet, more crucially, they are only two points behind the team that is directly in front of them in the standings.

Sunday's visitors, who are currently riding a two-game losing streak on the opposition's turf, have been performing poorly away from their own stadium and have a pressing need to improve their performance in order to improve their overall standing.

In terms of the over/under markets, all of their most recent 14 of their 15 matches have resulted in at least three goals being scored. That sounds interesting. 8 of the fixtures resulted in the BTTS.
