Preview:

This is the one game in the A-League this weekend that I really am not looking forward to watching.

Both these sides come into this clash on the back of losses and it is impossible to back either of them with any real confidence.

Newcastle have won five of their past six matches against the Brisbane Roar and they are deserving favourites, but I can’t get them as short as their current odds.

What does represent value is for this game to be a boring slog-fest, with very few goals score.
