Playing at home should help, and they have enough attacking quality to cause Macarthur problems.<\/p>\n<p>Macarthur were good enough to beat Perth last week, but this is a tougher assignment. The $2.05 odds are fair, and we\u2019re happy to back Newcastle to get the job done.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"teams-tip-button\">\t\t\t\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard bet-now-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/sports\/soccer\/australia\/a-league-men\/newcastle-jets-fc-vs-macarthur-fc\/4932829d-3242-4c35-88d4-3d80150da123\" target=\"_blank\" \n          data-tr-event=\"blog\" data-tr-method=\"bet now button\" data-tr-action=\"open sport_event\" data-tr-label=\"4932829d-3242-4c35-88d4-3d80150da123\" data-tr-event-id=\"4932829d-3242-4c35-88d4-3d80150da123\"  \n          >Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur FC<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<style><\/style><div data-league=\"Football Australia - A-League Men\" data-event=\"lclkafka-259282007\" data-market=\"null\" data-sport=\"soccer\" class=\"sport-takeover-banner wp-block-entain-sport-takeover-banner-block_91409ee544e92ad1edf8e82dd645d4d5 sport-data\">    <section class=\"sport-takeover-banner__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"origin-banner__inner\">\n\n            <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__details\">\n                <!-- Change data-countdown-to to your event date\/time. -->\n                <div\n                    class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown\"\n                    data-countdown-to=\"2026-10-24T06:00:00Z\"\n                    aria-label=\"Event countdown\">\n                    <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item\" data-days-wrapper>\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__number\" data-countdown-days>0<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__label\">Days<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item\">\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__number\" data-countdown-hours>0<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__label\">Hours<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item\">\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__number\" data-countdown-minutes>0<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__label\">Mins<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item\">\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__number\" data-countdown-seconds>0<\/div>\n                        <div class=\"sport-takeover-banner__countdown-item__label\">Secs<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <h3 class=\"sport-takeover-banner__title\">A-League<\/h3>\n                <p class=\"sport-takeover-banner__meta\">CommBank Stadium &bull;

They were solid defensively, but there wasn\u2019t much to get excited about going forward, and they\u2019ll need to show more attacking intent to win this one.<\/p>\n<p>Adelaide has yet to play their opening match, so there\u2019s some uncertainty around their current form. However, the $3 odds are tempting if they can make a positive start to the campaign. We\u2019re taking a chance on the visitors to come away with the points.<\/p>\n        <div class=\"teams-tip-button\">\t\t\t\n          <a class=\"track-me btn-standard bet-now-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neds.com.au\/sports\/soccer\/australia\/a-league-men\/sydney-fc-vs-adelaide-united-fc\/095d0d73-bfcc-4ef7-80d0-9b81d8aa7d8a\" target=\"_blank\" \n          data-tr-event=\"blog\" data-tr-method=\"bet now button\" data-tr-action=\"open sport_event\" data-tr-label=\"095d0d73-bfcc-4ef7-80d0-9b81d8aa7d8a\" data-tr-event-id=\"095d0d73-bfcc-4ef7-80d0-9b81d8aa7d8a\"  \n          >Sydney FC vs Adelaide United<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have the latest A-League tips this week for all six games of Round 2, kicking off with Brisbane Roar vs Perth Glory on Friday night.
