Australian Game - Friday
Newcastle Jets V New Zealand Knights
Newcastle Jets coach Richard Money believes his side can make the most of the season and finish in second place ahead of the A-League finals in February. Money said was aiming to take 10 points from their final four games, including the full three points from this game against the Knights. Newcastle sits in fourth place on the A-League ladder, one point behind the third-placed Central Coast Mariners and four points adrift of second-placed Sydney. The Jets will complete the regular season with four home games, starting with Friday night's clash with the New Zealand Knights, after playing seven of their previous eight games away. An excellent home run to the season will see them finish in second place ahead of the A-League finals in February.
Meanwhile their opponents, despite struggling all season, the Knights have improved in recent weeks and are coming off draws against Queensland and Sydney and a 1-0 away loss to the Mariners. The Jets have dominated the previous two encounters between the sides, winning 4-0 in New Zealand and 4-2 at EnergyAustralia Stadium
With the good run lately of the Knights will stake a small bet on under 2.5/3.
