In the final match of the regular season of the Australian A-League, Melbourne City will play with the Newcastle Jets. Whose side will the luck be on?
Melbourne City"
"Melbourne City" a few rounds ago secured not only a place in the semi-finals of the playoffs, but also a victory in the regular season, so in the last matches I played without tournament motivation. This completely affected the results of "Melbourne": four matches - one win, two draws and a loss. On the eve of the reporting match, Melbourne scored 49 points, which is two more than Sydney FC, which played all 26 matches.
Newcastle Jets"
In the final stretch of the season, the Newcastle Jets stopped losing every game, learning to score points. In the previous five matches, the Newcastle Jets suffered two defeats, which is an excellent result, because before that there were nine losses with two draws. In the last two games, the Jets scored 4 points, thanks to which they got the opportunity to leave the last place and finish in the penultimate place - now the gap from the 11th-place Melbourne Victory is equal to one point.
Statistics and figures:
- Melbourne City have won one of their last four games;
- Newcastle Jets have scored four points in the previous two rounds;
- The Newcastle Jets have beaten Melbourne City on their home turf in one of their last fifteen games.
Forecast
In this confrontation, I propose to bet on the fact that the "Newcastle Jets" will not lose. Yes, he closes the standings, but in the last rounds he continues to fight for the result to finish the season with something positive. "Melbourne City" is already openly finishing the regular season, while waiting for the playoffs.
