Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets Prediction

Form check: Jets have edged ahead recently

Newcastle Jets have won 11 of their last 20 matches across all competitions, scoring 40 goals along the way. That sample includes a heavy 7-1 defeat to Kashima in the AFC Champions League Elite, so it's not a pure reflection of league form, but the overall picture still points to a team getting results.

Perth Glory: 20 completed matches; Newcastle Jets: 20 completed matches.

Perth Glory's last 20 matches tell a different story. Six wins and seven losses from that run, with two recent friendlies against Adelaide United going one win and one defeat. The numbers suggest a side still finding consistency heading into the new season.

On the raw numbers, Newcastle head into this with the healthier recent record.

Comparative Team Statistics: Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets

A history built on draws and away wins

These two have met 20 times in the data we have, stretching back to 2019, and draws turn up again and again, several of them 2-2 scorelines. That points to a fixture that's rarely been one-sided.

The last two meetings both went to the away side: Perth won 2-1 at Newcastle in November 2025, then Newcastle hit back with a 3-1 win at Perth in February 2026. Home advantage hasn't counted for much lately.

Recent meetings haven't favoured whoever's at home, which is worth keeping in mind here.

Attacking threats and a few doubts

Newcastle's goals have been spread but led by E. Adams with 10 in 23 appearances, with C. Taylor on 9 and L. Rose on 8. D. Wilmering has created plenty too, setting up 9 goals. Squad members C. Bracco and A. Nunes are listed as questionable, though that's not confirmation either will be missing next month.

Perth's entries in what we have are mostly about discipline rather than goals, with Giovanni De Abreu picking up seven yellow cards and B. Kaltak shown a red this season. J. Kucharski is also listed as a doubt. There's no scorer data for Perth here, which makes their attacking options harder to judge.

How this one could play out

Newcastle look like the team scoring more freely and winning more often lately, but their sample includes some lopsided cup results that inflate the goal tally. Perth's record is patchier, and their recent friendly defeat to Adelaide United won't have settled many nerves.

Given the head-to-head pattern of tight, often drawn matches and away sides doing well in the last couple of meetings, this doesn't look like a fixture where either team's recent form guarantees control. A lot can still change for both sides in the month before kickoff.
