Brisbane Roar vs Newcastle Jets prediction, preview, team news and more | A-League 2021-22
The A-League is back in action with another set of fixtures this weekend as Newcastle Jets take on Brisbane Roar on Saturday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
Brisbane Roar are in 11th place in the A-League standings and have endured a dismal season so far. The home side were outplayed by Wellington Phoenix last week and have plenty of work to do ahead of this match.
Newcastle Jets are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have also been in poor form this season. The Jets played out a 0-0 stalemate against Perth Glory in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch this weekend.

Brisbane Roar have suffered three defeats on the trot in the A-League and are in the middle of yet another slump. The hosts were poor against Wellington Phoenix and cannot afford a similar performance this weekend.
Newcastle Jets have struggled to impose themselves this year and have a point to prove going into this game. Both teams are evenly matched and could play out a draw on Saturday.
