On Saturday night, 2 games in the Australian league are going to happen and the 1st match will be between Melbourne City and Newcastle Jets. After 21 games, City has 8 wins, 5 draws, 8 losses, a total of 29 points and 7th place while Jets have 4 wins, 8 draws, 10 losses in 22 games, a total of 20 points and 11th place. In this game, I predict City's win.

City had a very bad stretch with 2 draws and 3 losses in 5 games in a row. At the same time, 4 games were on the road. The only home game was against the 3rd-best team Melbourne Victory and that was a draw. Before the break, City hosted the best team in the league Wellington and 1:0 which was followed by crushing the 6th-best team Western Sydney - 7:0. City has been the 3rd-best home team this season with 5 wins and 4 draws in 11 games, with a total of 26 goals scored and 10 conceded. Per xG, the team is expected to score 1.75 goals at home and concede 1.47.

Jets won the last game on January 23rd. Since then, the team has 4 losses and 4 draws. Jets have been a decent road team this season as they have 2 wins and 4 draws in 12 games, with a total of 19 goals scored and 28 conceded. Per xG, the team is expected to score 1.14 goals on the road (3rd-worst in the league) and concede 1.92 (4th-worst).

There's a 9-point difference between both teams and I expect City to win. The hosts are out of the bad stretch of games while the Jets haven't found their groove yet. Despite being just 7th, City has 1 fewer game played than the 6th-best team and they are just 2 points behind them. The 6th place gives a chance to compete in the playoff qualifier. City has won 4 out of the last 5 meetings and I expect another win for them. There was a 1 draw only because City got a red card but they still managed to tie the game.

周六晚上，澳大利亚联赛将进行两场比赛，第一场比赛将在墨尔本城和纽卡斯尔喷气机队之间进行。21场比赛后，曼城8胜5平8负，积29分，排名第7，而喷气机队22场比赛积4胜8平10负，积20分，排名第11。在这场比赛中，我预测曼城会赢。

曼城连续5场比赛2平3负，表现非常糟糕。同时，还有4场比赛在客场进行。唯一的主场比赛是对阵排名第三的墨尔本胜利队，结果是平局。中场休息前，曼城主场迎战联赛最佳球队惠灵顿，1:0大胜，随后又以7:0大胜排名第六的西悉尼。曼城在本赛季的11场比赛中取得了5胜4平的成绩，在主场排名第三，进26球失10球。平均每场比赛，球队将在主场进1.75球，丢1.47球。

喷气机队在1月23日赢得了最后一场比赛。从那以后，球队4负4平。喷气机队本赛季是一支不错的客场球队，他们在12场比赛中取得了2胜4平，进19球丢28球。平均每场比赛，客场进球数为1.14球(联赛倒数第3位)，失球数为1.92球(联赛倒数第4位)。

两队之间有9分的差距，我预计曼城会赢。东道主已经走出了糟糕的比赛，而喷气机队还没有找到他们的最佳状态。尽管排名第七，但曼城比排名第六的球队少打了1场比赛，只落后他们2分。第6名有机会参加季后赛预选赛。曼城在最近5次交锋中赢了4场，我希望他们能再赢一场。由于曼城队吃到红牌，比赛打成1平，但他们仍设法将比分追平。
