Midweek A-League continues on Wednesday evening as the Newcastle Jets look to turn around their stuttering form line against the struggling Brisbane Roar. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:50pm (AEDT).
This is a crucial game for both clubs. As it stands, both teams are out of the top six, and a win could push them towards a position where they end up with less pressure on through January.
A loss though and all of a sudden things might getting a bit tough as we approach the mid-way point of the 2018-19 season.
The Jets have been far from poor, but just struggling to put anything with consistency together. The last six weeks have followed a frustrating win-loss-win-loss pattern, with that continuing last week on a 2-1 loss to the Adelaide United.
After making last year’s grand final, they have just struggled to get going in the new season, but there is still plenty of time to turn it around.
On the other side of the coin, the Brisbane Roar must find victories, and soon. John Aloisi has left the club, allowing them take a fresh direction under a new manager, but they have won just one of their ten games so far and rather than being inconsistent, are genuinely struggling.
That win came six weeks ago, and they have now let 14 goals through in the last five games. Their defence simply hasn’t been up to scratch, and if that continues tonight, the Jets could have a field day.
Prediction
It’s a tough game to tip given the respective positions and form of the two sides. However, Brisbane are seriously battling at the moment, so the Jets should manage to get a scrappy win out of this one.
Jets 2 – Roar 0.
