Australian Game - Friday

[prinze]

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.

Maybe I should thus leave this game alone it looks a bit unpredictable for the over/under which is 2.5/3. Newcastle Jets is the team in urgency and they mathematically are able to reach second position with the remaining games. But NZ Knights has been doing quite ok in the past few games. Asian handicap market of 11/2 ball on Newcastle looks a bit too high. Maybe will thus leave this game alone and look for other valuable bets as there are lots of games for the next three days. Good Luck to all.

what time (GMT) does this kick off anyone?

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

64 mins gone. 1-0 Knights which if i am correct is looking good just now for Prinze as he is on the under

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Jesus that is unlucky Prinze.

1-0 with 4 mins left then Knights get a goal and then score in the last minute. Very very unlucky there buddy

Erm, according to Live Score it was the Newcastle Jets that got those two late goals, Kiko. Full-time was Newcastle 3-0 New Zealand

Still, irrelevant who won really as far as Prinze is concerned, I guess. At least he should get half his stake back though for going under 2.5/3.

[GaNgStA kEeKs]

Ooops - listed the wrong team.

Last minute goals against you are a right bugger

[rcgills]

True. They're great though when they go your way as one did for dave (well, a late goal, if not quite the last minute) in this league yesterday.

[prinze]

Thx Kiko & RC Gills as stated later I did not wage on this game as it seemed a bit tricky (gut feeling i guess) lucky for me.

A very unlucky result there, some player from Newcastle scored from 2 very long shots very late in the game. The first a 35 yard screamer and same for the second but less impressive.
