WST vs NJ Dream11: Western United were held by Wellington Phoenix last time out but that extended their solid run of form having lost just one of their last five. That is a far cry from the run that Newcastle Jets are on who are without a win in their last nine outings. After a seven-match losing streak, they have at least managed to draw their last two after holding Macarthur last time out but their wait for a win is set to be extended here with United able to claim at least a point from this clash.

As things stand, we expect the hosts to climb back into the top six of the table with a victory here, in what could be an open match. Berisha and Diamanti should have too much class for the visitors’ leaky defence to handle, though. In our WST vs NJ Today Match Prediction odds, we back for a well-earned 2-1 win for the Western United side in this match.
