The final curtain on Matchday 18 in the A-League comes from the McDonald Jones Stadium, where the Newcastle Jets will be playing host to Macarthur FC. The Jets lead the league standings, while the Bulls are in fifth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Newcastle Jets have firmly announced themselves as the team to catch this season, now four points clear at the top of the standings after beating Perth Glory 3-1 on the road last week.
Despite conceding 29 goals already this term, the Jets have scored 40, which is 12 more than any other team in the division. Lachlan Rose leads the league with eight goals and one assist.
Notably, though, four of the hosts’ six losses this season have come on home soil, one of which was a crazy 5-4 defeat to this opponent back in December.
Meanwhile, Macarthur slipped out of the top four in the table after conceding in stoppage time to the Glory on the road, which forced them to settle for a 2-2 draw in their last league match.
It is worth pointing out that the Bulls travelled to Singapore last week and faced Bangkok United on Thursday in the AFC Champions League 2, meaning they’ve had less than a four-day turnaround to this match.
However, they are unbeaten in their last six away league games (W3 D3) and scored in every match during this period.

Our Newcastle United Jets vs Macarthur FC Prediction
After finishing outside the top eight in the last two seasons, the Newcastle Jets are absolutely flying this term, and the cornerstone of their success has been their incredible attacking output, with 40 goals scored in 17 games to date.
However, the Jets have relied heavily on outscoring opponents to win games, which has not always worked, as we saw in that nine-goal thriller between these sides on Boxing Day. Given the stats, we’re expecting another goal-fest in this one. Our Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur FC prediction is over 2.5 & BTTS.
