Newcastle Jets vs. Melbourne City FC

This is a difficult spot for Melbourne City, heading out on the road. Despite being in second place in the A-League, Melbourne City has a suspect defense allowing 32 goals in 22 games. They rank in the bottom five in goals surrendered with the other four teams all have losing records. Their last road game was a disappointing draw with No. 8 Western Sydney. Melbourne City is tops in the league in yellow cards (48), and they head to the Newcastle Jets, a disciplined team with the fewest yellow cards (31). Newcastle is playing well (3-1-3 run), losing just one of their last seven A-League matches while outscoring opponents 11-7 during that stretch. Look for Newcastle to either win the game or draw.
