NJ vs PG Dream11: Newcastle Jets will look to end their season on a high after finally ending their long wait for a win by shocking Central Coast Mariners last time out. After 14 matches without a success, the Jets were 0-2 winners on the road earlier in the week and will now look to build on that back on home soil. There has been little for their fans to cheer this season but they can still avoid the wooden spoon and a win here would hand them a great chance of doing just that. They take on a Perth Glory side that will arrive on a real low having missed out on the finals as their six-game unbeaten run was ended by Brisbane Roar in their most recent outing.
Date: 5 June, Saturday Time: 2:40 PM (IST) Venue: McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
A League Table: Newcastle Jets are 9th in the A League standings, while Perth Glory are sitting in the 12th place.

In our NJ vs PG Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a 2-1 win for the Perth Glory in this match.
