Football Bet of the Day: Perth bring goals to Newcastle

Newcastle Jets v Perth
Friday 10:50 (Live on BT Sport 1)

Benevento put a dent in Verona's survival hopes and a bulge in our wallet with a 3-0 win at Ciro Vigorito Stadium last night.

We want to fatten our calf leather some more in Australia. With two rounds to go in the A-League regular season, Newcastle Jets are secure in second place and safely through to the Finals. However, Ernie Merrick's men have lost a bit of form recently and the boss is keen for them to feel the winning feeling again before the knockouts begin.

The Jets go up against Perth Glory on Friday morning. Perth are down in eighth place, but they won't make it easy for their hosts. The visitors are three points off the final qualifying place, so will be going all out for the win themselves. They're also unbeaten in eight visits to McDonald Jones Stadium.

With both teams on the front foot, we're backing Over 2.5 Goals. It's been the right bet in 9/13 at the McDonald Jones this season and in 10/13 Perth away games.
