Newcastle Jets have enjoyed a six-game unbeaten streak heading into this weekend which they will be aiming to extend when they host Western United.

The visitors currently sit bottom of the A-League table and have lost their previous three matches which they will be wanting to turn around.

We say: Newcastle Jets 2-0 Western United

Western United have struggled away from home this season, and that is likely going to continue in this particular fixture.

Newcastle Jets are in great form at the moment, and that should carry on in this match as it is expected they will take all three points.

After coming up short on derby day last weekend Melbourne City will be hoping to get straight back to winning ways on Saturday when they host Sydney FC.

The visitors are currently sat sixth in the A-League table and head into this match on the back of four matches without a defeat.

We say: Melbourne City 1-1 Sydney FC

Melbourne City might seem like the favourites on paper for this match, but the recent shock defeat could provide an opening for the visitors to cause problems.

Considering the fact that Sydney FC are currently enjoying a great run and have already beaten their opponents, seeing them battle out a draw could end up happening.

After consecutive matches without a win Western Sydney Wanderers will be hoping to get back on track this weekend when they host Macarthur.

The hosts have the possibility of climbing into second place with a win depending on other results, adding further pressure to this fixture.

We say: Western Sydney Wanderers 2-0 Macarthur

Western Sydney Wanderers might have failed to win a game in their previous two outings, but they will still be seen as the favourites this time out.

Their strong defensive performances throughout the course of the season being matched with Macarthur's struggles in front of goal should help the hosts here.
