Free Betting Tips for Newcastle Jets vs Sydney
Will the new year bring plenty of cheer for Newcastle Jets or Sydney FC? Well, we won't have to wait long to find out as these two sides go head-to-head on New Year's Day and we're predicting an action-packed 90-minutes at the McDonald Jones Stadium.
Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
For our first tip, we have gone with over 2.5 goals to be scored as that has been the outcome in four of the last six league meetings between these two clubs. Add on to that, the fact that at least three goals have been scored in four of Newcastle's and five of Sydney's last six outings in league and cup and you can see just why we're predicting goals on New Year's Day.
Both Teams to Score
Both teams have found the back of the net in five of the last six encounters between Newcastle and Sydney in the A-League, and we're expecting more of the same on Sunday. The hosts have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last six matches while both teams have scored in four of Sydney's last six outings, adding further weight to our second prediction for this New Year's Day clash.

Let's take a look at the latest markets and odds ahead of Sunday's meeting between Newcastle Jets and Sydney,
Newcastle odds: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
Draw odds: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
Sydney odds: 1/1 (2.00) – 50%
As you can see, the bookmakers fancy Sydney to secure all 3pts on Sunday, a victory that would see the visitors leapfrog their hosts in the A-League table, but what else are the bookies leaning towards? In terms of a First Goalscorer pick, the bookies fancy former Reading striker Adam Le Fondre to score the first goal of the game at 5/1 (6.00) – 16.7%, while a Correct Scoreline bet on a 2-1 win for Sydney has odds of 42/5 (9.40) – 10.6%.
Predicted Lineups, Team News & Last Result
Newcastle Jets
Newcastle Jets made the trip to Adelaide United for their post-Christmas A-League match, where a tight and tense 90-minutes was decided by a solitary goal. Sotino got that goal for Newcastle in the 25th-minute after good work from Grozos and the visitors held on to win the game and go level on points with their hosts. Newcastle didn't pick up any fresh injuries during that game and could go with the same starting lineup for the Sydney match.
Predicted Lineup – Duncan (GK), Jenkinson, Elsey, Ingham, Natta, Dartsmelia, Piscopo, Grozos, Thurgate, Mikeltadze & Sotirio
Sydney
Sydney were the architect of their own downfall in many ways when they played host to Macarthur before Christmas. The visitors took the lead in first-half stoppage-time via Arabuli but were handed an early Christmas present by Sydney when Lolley was shown a straight red card in the 56th-minute. Davila added a second goal in the 71st-minute and shortly before the full-time whistle, Arabuli netted his second of the game to wrap up an impressive 3-0 win for Macarthur. Lolley will now miss Sydney's trip to Newcastle and could be replaced in the starting lineup by Segecic.
Predicted Lineup – Redmayne (GK), Grant, Caballo, Donachie, Vlastelica, Mak, Cáceres, Retre, Yazbek, Le Fondre & Segecic

Player to Watch: Beka Dartsmelia
The young Georgian midfielder is enjoying his first season in the A-League having joined Newcastle Jets from Lokomotivi Tbilisi.
So far, Dartsmelia has chipped in with one league goal and two assists for his new club and we expect the youngster to get better and better with each game that comes.
Sydney will be missing one of their key midfield talents in the form of Lolley who is suspended while Newcastle head into the game with a clean bill of health and we're backing Dartsmelia to play a big part in the game, either helping to create a goal or scoring one of his own.
