At the end of the championship is approaching Australia and it will be very difficult for us to have changes in the positions that lead to the play-offs. The match that will concern us today is this one in between Newcastle Jets and Wellington Phoenix.
Another team is the Jets after the hiring of Carl Robinson as the first coach. The Welshman, who was on the bench at Vancouver in Canada from 13 to 18, has managed to lead the Jets in ten games and has a 6-3-1 record. Last match for Newcastle was the 1-0 victory against Western United.
Wellington on the other hand is the pleasant surprise of the season and taking advantage of the poor performance of 2-3 heavier "jerseys" of the A-League has managed to be in third place and still be alive in the hunt for second. Unfortunately the momentum of the four consecutive victories was lost with the covid interruption and in the restart he has a 1-2-2 record. Last match for Wellington was a 1-1 draw against Brisbane.
This will be the last match for the Jets as they failed to qualify for the play-offs. On the other hand, Wellington has theoretical hopes for the second place where it leads directly to the semifinals as opposed to the third that leads to the quarterfinals. The chances are practically very small, they will have to win Newcastle, Melbourne will have to lose to the logically indifferent Western United and cover the goal difference. Unlikely not but definitely difficult and that is why I will oppose them and choose the most stable team and the 1DNB in total odds 2.20 in Bet365.
