Auckland vs Newcastle Jets Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Bookies Make Black Knights Most Likely Winners

Auckland are the -161 favourites on the Full-Time Result. That means a 62% chance of winning this A-League encounter according to the latest betting odds. Newcastle Jets are the outsiders at +360 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Auckland -0.75 at -135 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Newcastle, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

The lowest odds can be found for Over 2.5 Goals, which means at least three goals being netted. BTTS Yes is on offer at -200 for anyone who wants to side with Both Teams to Score.

The best football betting sites are on hand to provide lots of choice to bettors. It’s now the case that you can select from hundreds of markets for all of the A-League matches.
