Wellington Phoenix vs Newcastle Jets match Prediction 14 December 2025

Wellington Phoenix and Newcastle Jets will aim to secure a win and step up their games, having just one in their last five games. Therefore, I expect both teams to come into this match with all seriousness of finding the net at halftime, while I expect more than one goal to be recorded early. However, since I expect both teams to find the net, I expect more than 3 caution cards to be given by the officiating officer, since I expect more aggressive play in both their defensive play and attacking play.
