Western United v Newcastle Jets: A-League Friday preview

Western United continue to impress in the A-League this season and they will certainly have no confidence issues when they host the Newcastle Jets at Ironbark Fields.

United managed to win a thrilling clash with Melbourne Victory last time out, with a 4-3 victory at AAMI Park.

Bouncing back from a 2-0 defeat at Melbourne City in the previous game, Western United got back in the saddle at the first time of asking and now have the Jets firmly in their sights.

Western United v Newcastle Jets betting preview

Western United in free-scoring form

Bagging another four goals against Melbourne Victory, Western United are one of the most attacking teams in the A-League this season.

Only four other teams have scored more goals than United, who have scored 16 goals in their last six league games.

Japanese forward Hiroshi Ibusuki is a man in real form and, after scoring two goals against the Victory last time out, the 22-year-old is 2.30 in the anytime goalscorer market to find the back of the net against Newcastle this week.

Jets looking for top gear

The main issue for Newcastle, who have lost three of their last five away games in the A-League, in recent weeks has been consistency.

With two defeats, one draw and one win, the Jets have not been able to put together back-to-back performances and that shows on the ladder, with Newcastle currently occupying 11th spot.

Earning 10 points from their first 11 games shows exactly where this Newcastle side are at right now and it’s little wonder why Robert Stanton’s side are the 4.00 underdogs going into Friday’s trip to Ironbark Fields.

Western United earned a 2-0 home win the last time these sides met in the A-League back in February 2024 and odds of 11.00 are available to the same scoreline to occur on Friday.
