Matchday 12 in the A-League will conclude with Melbourne City taking on the Newcastle Jets at AAMI Park. The City Boys are fifth in the league standings, while the Jets are two below them in seventh after 11 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After a jam-packed end to the year in which they played 10 games in seven weeks, Melbourne City picked up a much-needed 1-0 victory over Brisbane Roar in midweek.
That result brought an end to a five-match winless run for Hearts (D3 L2) and was their second consecutive clean sheet in league competition after playing to a goalless draw against Sydney three days earlier.
The hosts have split their six home games this season W2 D2 L2, and conceded just five goals in those matches, which is the third-fewest in the league this season.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle Jets got 2026 going on a positive note, securing an against-the-odds 3-1 victory over reigning Premiers Auckland on the road on New Year’s Day.
The Jets have now scored two or more goals in each of their last four league games, taking their tally to 23, which is six more than any other team in the division coming into MD12.
The visitors are also on a three-match win streak on the road and have not tasted defeat in their last three visits to this venue (W1 D2).

Due to their participation in the AFC Champions League, Melbourne City’s fixture list has been bumper-to-bumper over the last few months, and that has begun to show in recent performances, as they've been conceding fairly cheaply.
The Jets have not had many results go their way so far this season, but they have been incredible in attack, and even if they do not win this match, we expect them to get on the scoresheet. Our Melbourne City vs Newcastle Jets prediction is BTTS.
