A-League: Macarthur v Newcastle Jets preview

Macarthur will look to continue their impressive start to the A-League campaign when they entertain Newcastle Jets on Friday night.

With the FFA Cup already in the bag, the Bulls took that form into the new season as they hammered Perth Glory 6-1 on the opening day of the A-League season.

Macarthur can be backed at 2.75 to make the top six this season, but that is the very least they will be hoping for.

The Jets started the season with a 1-0 loss against Melbourne City, but they can take plenty of positives away from that loss.

They will look to bounce back at Campbelltown Stadium, and an exciting game could be on the cards.

Macarthur sit top of the pile

Macarthur are sitting pretty at the top of the A-League ladder after they demolished Perth Glory 6-1 last Sunday.

The Bulls were 5-0 up by half-time, and although Glory were very poor defensively, nothing should be taken away from the performance.

Macarthur should be full of confidence heading into another home game, and another goal-fest could be on the cards.

Over 2.5 goals in the game can be backed at 1.44.

They did spread the goals around against Glory, with five different players getting on the scoresheet.

However it was Marin Jakolis who top-scored with a brace, and he can be backed at 3.40 to score at anytime against the Jets.

With tough trips to Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC up after this game, Macarthur will be desperate to pick up a convincing win.

Plenty of hope for Newcastle Jets

Newcastle may have suffered a 1-0 defeat on home soil against Melbourne City, but on another day it could have been a different outcome.

The Jets had plenty of chances in the game, and had they been more clinical, could have taken a share of the points at the very least.

Even so, the youngsters did not crumble when going a goal behind, and they can take some confidence from the performance.

Now they head to Macarthur looking to pick up their first points of the season.

Justin Vidic is a player that can give the Bulls some issues, and he can be backed at 3.10 to grab a goal at anytime in the game.

The Jets snatching a draw cannot be ruled out either and a scoreline of 1-1 is priced at 8.00.

Both teams to score in the game is also available at 1.44.
