Match Preview
Brisbane Roar Women host Newcastle Jets Women at Perry Park on Sunday, 16 March, in a clash that could prove pivotal for both teams as they seek to improve their standings in the A-League Women. The Roar have struggled recently, with just one point from their last five matches, while the Jets have shown some resilience, managing to secure a win in their last outing. Historically, this fixture has favoured the Jets, who have won five of the last ten encounters, indicating a psychological edge.
A key angle to consider is the Roar's defensive vulnerabilities, having conceded in all but one of their last five matches. With Newcastle's recent form suggesting an uptick in attacking play, the odds of over 2.5 goals at 1.4 appear enticing. Both teams have a tendency to score, as evidenced by the high number of matches featuring both teams finding the net in their recent head-to-heads. This match could see the Jets capitalise on Brisbane's defensive frailties, making it a crucial encounter for both sides.
