Game Prediction
In the 17th round of the Australian A-League on January 7, 2025, Brisbane Roar will face Newcastle Jets. This is a battle between the season's underperformers, both of whom are steadily losing their playoff hopes.
Our prediction for the Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets match
Last season, the "Lions" managed only 30 points, finishing ninth and far from playoff contention. The "Jets" fared slightly worse, ending with two fewer points in the next-to-last position.
Little has changed in the current campaign. Ruben Zadkovich's team remains the league's bottom dweller, unable to secure a win. Their only draws were against Macarthur and Western Sydney. They have since suffered defeats to Western United and Central Coast Mariners. Stanton's side, while also struggling, occasionally finds success, with wins against Macarthur and Perth Glory. Their most recent outing was a draw against Sydney.
The hosts score a decent 1.2 goals per game but are let down by a fragile defense, conceding over 2.5 goals per match. The visitors, meanwhile, are less potent in attack, averaging 1.22 goals per game, and concede 1.67.
