Melbourne Victory v Newcastle Jets
Monday 08:50
Western Sydney 1 Perth Glory 1 in Australia this morning means it's six out of six for the column this week. For our shot at perfection we're staying Down Under - and that's exactly what we're hoping the goals will do in Monday morning's game between Melbourne Victory and Newcastle Jets.
Their last six A-League encounters have produced a total of just eight goals. All six have finished with Under 2.5 Goals individually and, at a big price, that's our first bet of the new year.
This season Kevin Muscat's hosts have recorded blowout wins at home to two of the league's bottom three, but have otherwise scored seven times in four games at home to stronger opposition.
Victory start as heavy favourites for this one, but the visiting Jets haven't conceded more than two goals in any of their 18 road matches since the start of last season. More than half of those games (10) ended with Under 2.5 Goals in total and that's another reason to take the generous price about another low scorer at Kardinia Park on Monday morning.
