Newcastle United Jets vs Macarthur FC Prediction & Betting Tips - A-League

Prediction published on 24/12/2025, 02:35  by Sridhar Bhamidi in A-League Predictions

Newcastle United Jets have a chance to move away from Macarthur FC with a win on Boxing Day, as both teams start matchday 10 of the A-League stacked. This match between the sixth-placed Jets and the seventh-placed Bulls on Friday in New Lambton comes with our prediction of a home win.

After nine rounds, the Jets have 12 points (W4, L5) and are three points behind third-placed Brisbane. The Bulls also have 12 points (W3, D3, L3).

The Jets won 2-0 at home against Sydney FC last weekend, making it two victories in a row. They have three wins from their last four league games, with only the defeat against Melbourne City halting their surge.

There’s still work to do, as the Jets have lost three of their four recent home fixtures. Their lone win came in the most recent league game here against Sydney, boosting hopes of building momentum.

Macarthur held Melbourne City to a 1-1 away draw last time out to extend their unbeaten run (W1, D2). They will still be concerned over the lack of wins, as the Bulls won just two of their last seven league games (D3, L2).

Their road form has improved with four points from their last two trips (W1, D1), which otherwise saw them lose the first two away league games of the campaign.
