Adelaide United vs Newcastle Jets Prediction
Adelaide United come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 win over Melbourne City at the Hindmarsh Stadium in Adelaide last weekend thanks to a 52nd minute Adam Goodwin winner. They have hit a bumpy patch of form in 2025 but remain in contention to finish at the top. The Newcastle Jets defeated Melbourne Victory by three goals to nil last weekend with all three goals coming late on but that was just their fourth win of the season as they continue to languish down at the bottom end of the A League table. Adelaide United should come out on top of this one, especially with their home advantage.
