Newcastle Jets vs Adelaide United Prediction and Betting Tips

Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United kick off their 2025 Australia Cup campaign when they lock horns at the Maitland Sports Ground on Wednesday. Ayrton Andrioli’s Adelaide United have failed to taste victory away from home since the start of April and will head into the midweek clash looking to end this poor run.

For the seventh consecutive year, Newcastle Jets failed to clinch playoff football as they finished ninth in the A-League table last season.

Robert Stanton’s side lost 12 of their 26 league matches while picking up eight wins and six draws to collect 30 points, eight points adrift of the final playoff qualifying spot.

Newcastle Jets now get underway in the Australia Cup, where they reached the round of 16 last season before suffering a narrow 4-3 defeat at the hands of Macarthur.

Meanwhile, Adelaide United clinched post-season football by the skin of their teeth last term as they finished sixth in the table with 38 points from 26 games, just one point above seventh-placed Sydney FC, who finished outside the qualifying places.

However, Andrioli’s men’s quest for playoff football came to an end in the single qualifying game on May 9 when they fell to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Western United.

Adelaide made it all the way to the semi-finals of the Australia Cup last season before losing 1-0 against Melbourne Victory, courtesy of an 88th-minute strike from Jordi Valadon back in September.
