Team Form

Newcastle Jets’ last five matches: D, D, W, D, D. They beat Central Coast Mariners 4-0 on Apr 25 but drew four times — including 1-1 with Sydney FC (May 16 and May 9), 2-2 at Melbourne Victory (Apr 17), and 1-1 vs Adelaide United (Apr 11).

Head-to-Head Record

Excluding the upcoming fixture, the last four meetings between these sides have been tightly contested. Newcastle Jets have won two, Auckland FC one, with one draw. The only previous home game for Newcastle against Auckland ended 1-1 in March 2025. Notably, Newcastle’s two wins came on Auckland’s turf — 3-1 in January 2026 and 2-1 in November 2025 — showing they can get results away. The H2H record gives Newcastle a slight edge.

League Table Positions

Newcastle Jets sit 1st in the A-League with 48 points (15 wins, 3 draws, 8 losses). Auckland FC are 3rd on 42 points (11 wins, 9 draws, 6 losses). At home, Newcastle rank 2nd with 7 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. Auckland’s away form is strong — they rank 2nd with 6 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 defeats. The six-point gap highlights Newcastle’s overall superiority, but Auckland’s away record suggests they can challenge.

Win Probability: Newcastle Jets or Auckland FC?

Based on all available statistics — recent form, head-to-head record, league positions, and home/away splits — we calculate the following win probabilities:

• Newcastle Jets win: 40%
• Draw: 30%
• Auckland FC win: 30%

The draw-heavy recent form of both teams (Newcastle 4 draws in 5, Auckland 3 in 5) raises the probability of a stalemate. Newcastle’s home advantage and top-of-the-table status give them a slight edge, but Auckland’s strong away form makes them a live underdog. Therefore, Newcastle Jets are the more likely winner, but only marginally, and a draw or an Auckland upset are very possible.
