WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS VS NEWCASTLE JETS PREDICTION

The Western Sydney Wanderers began their 2024/25 Australian A League season with a 2-1 defeat to Sydney in the derby on the opening weekend of the campaign. They were then held to a 1-1 draw with Western United before losing to Adelaide United by four goals to three at the weekend. They now face a Newcastle Jets side that were beaten 1-0 by Melbourne City before then defeating Macarthur by two goals to one the other day. WSW are known for being entertaining to watch and, as a result, both teams scoring looks a good bet for this one in New South Wales.
