Auckland FC haven't replicated their strong form from last season, with inconsistent performances this term. They are also involved in other competitions, but so are the away team, with a shorter turnaround. This match looks likely to see both teams score, with a good chance of a win. The score predictions are 0-1, 1-1, and 1-2. Their defence has been very stable this season, resulting in many 1-0 victories, a typical defensive approach that can frustrate opponents. Auckland FC possesses a strong squad and has a high success rate in home attacks. Newcastle Jets have significantly strengthened their squad for this match. They have recalled striker Dybala from Juventus, a talented player the team has lacked in recent years. Dybala brings exceptional creativity to the attack, and this excellent centre-back is in the prime of his career. They've also brought back Italian winger Belotti and midfielder Wijnaldum, among others. The arrival of these experienced players has bolstered the team's depth. Newcastle Jets's starting goalkeeper is unavailable, leaving a potential gap in their defence for this match.
