Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets Prediction and Betting Tips | January 7th 2025
The action continues in round 11 of the Australian A-League as Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets square off at the Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday. Ruben Zadkovich’s men head into the game without a league victory this term and will be desperate to end this dry spell.
Brisbane Roar continue to struggle for results at the wrong end of the A-League table as they suffered a 3-1 defeat against Central Coast Mariners on home turf.
Zadkovich’s side have failed to taste victory in the league this season, losing eight and claiming two points from a possible 30 to sit rock bottom in the standings.
Brisbane Roar’s underwhelming campaign has been owing to their struggles at the defensive end of the pitch, where they have shipped 25 goals already — only Perth Glory (30) have conceded more.
Elsewhere, Newcastle Jets were left disappointed in their first outing of the new year as they played out a 2-2 draw with Sydney FC after blowing a two-goal lead in the final 12 minutes.
Before that, Robert Stanton’s men snapped their four-game losing streak with a dominant 4-0 victory over Perth Glory on December 14, before crashing down to earth in a 2-1 loss against Wellington Phoenix in their final outing of the year.
Newcastle Jets have picked up seven points from nine matches to sit 11th in the A-League standings, just two points above 12th-placed Perth Glory.
