[Tips]:
Although Western Sydney Wanderers ended their three-game losing streak by defeating Melbourne Victory FC and their morale slightly improved, the team's attack remains weak, scoring only 9 goals in the first 12 rounds, the worst in the league. They also struggled in defense, conceding 6 goals in the last 5 games, while their home win rate stands at a modest 40%, reflecting their overall average quality.
In stark contrast, Newcastle Jets FC are in hot form. They are riding a wave of two consecutive wins and have secured four victories in their last five outings. Boasting the league's most potent attack, they have netted 24 goals this season at an average of two per game. Although their defense also shows instability, their remarkable 80% away win rate underscores exceptional strength on away field.
While Western Sydney Wanderers hold a slight historical edge in head-to-head encounters, they are currently outmatched both in terms of quality and recent form. Therefore, Newcastle Jets FC are favored to at least secure a draw away from home.
