Newcastle Jets vs Brisbane Roar Prediction

The Newcastle Jets come into this one on the back of a 2-1 win over Adelaide United in South Australia in their most recent outing at the weekend. That means are now unbeaten in their last four matches in the A League as they try and move up the table. They face a Brisbane Roar side that have managed just one win in their 15 matches so far this season, most recently suffering a 1-0 loss at home to the Western Sydney Wanderers in Queensland last weekend. The Newcastle Jets, especially with their home advantage, are the firm favourites for this one to continue their improved run of form.
