Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets Prediction

These are two of the bottom three ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures. Perth Glory have collected two points so far this season as they come into this one on the back of a 2-0 loss to Melbourne Victory in their most recent outing last weekend. They now face a Newcastle Jets side that have managed a victory for themselves but have remained underwhelming throughout the campaign. The two sides have combined for just eight goals this season and under 2.5 goals seems quite likely.
