Brisbane Roar v Newcastle Jets

Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets Preview

Yet another defeat for Brisbane Roar in a 3-1 loss at home to Central Coast Mariners have left the upcoming hosts sitting rock bottom of the A-League table as The Roar have managed to pick up just two points in total from their opening 10 games of this season.

Newcastle Jets currently occupy third from bottom position in the A-League table as the visitors look to build upon their recent point gained by way of a 2-2 draw at home with Sydney FC when they make their way to the Suncorp Stadium for this upcoming encounter against struggling Brisbane Roar.

Brisbane Roar have slipped to eight defeats within their 10 games to date this term and although the hosts have picked up points in draws with Macarthur Rams and Western Sydney Wanderers, the torrent of defeats have consigned Ruben Zadkovich's side to the bottom of the table.

Therefore, the prospects of a home win here on Tuesday looks extremely unlikely but the goals market looks a promising option especially as four out of Brisbane Roar's five home games so far this season have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

In addition, Brisbane Roar have lost each of their last eight home games on the trot with all eight games also resulting in the hosts conceding two goals or more.

Newcastle Jets haven't fared much better than their upcoming hosts either though as the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their previous seven games which came in the form of a 4-0 win away from home at Perth Glory but five losses within this period also suggests the visitors may struggle to grab all three points here.

Recent defeats at the hands of Western Sydney Wanderers, Central Coast Mariners, Auckland, Adelaide United and Wellington Phoenix have underlined the problems that Newcastle Jets have experienced in recent times in the domestic top flight.

The bigger picture shows Newcastle Jets have managed to muster just two victories from their previous 11 games overall in the A-League and although the visitors have still managed to gain greater success than their hosts, confidence in an away win here is low.

Two wins but also three defeats on the road so far this season suggest Newcastle Jets have yet to really gain any sort of consistency on their travels but again, the goals market appeals here as four out of The Jets' five away games so far this season have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.
