The bookmakers have set the odds at 3.0 for a Newcastle Jets win, 3.6 for a draw, and 2.2 for a Western United victory. While the visitors are slight favorites, our AI sees value in the 1X double chance (Newcastle Jets to win or draw) at 1.66 odds. The trust level for this bet is low at 2.0/10, but given Newcastle’s recent shock win over Adelaide United (1:2 at 5.45 odds), they could pull off another surprise.

Looking at goals, our AI strongly favors Over 2.5 goals at 1.5 odds, with a trust level of 5.4/10. Historically, 59% of A-League matches have seen at least three goals, making this a solid pick. Our predicted scoreline? A thrilling 2:2 draw, with both teams finding the net.

Western United have been in fine form, smashing Auckland 0:4 in December. They’re expected to take 16 shots (6 on target), while Newcastle Jets should manage 12 shots (4 on target). Possession-wise, it’s almost even—52% for Western United and 48% for Newcastle.

Corners could be a factor, with an estimated 11 total (6 for Western United, 5 for Newcastle). Interestingly, our AI predicts zero yellow cards—so expect a clean, attacking game.

In their last head-to-head, Newcastle Jets dominated with a 4:1 win. Can they repeat the feat? With both teams in solid form, a draw seems likely. If you’re looking for a safe bet, Over 2.5 goals is the way to go!
