In the first half, Sydney had no matches over 1.5 goals, while Newcastle Jets had 1 out of 5. In the second half, both teams had 2 out of 5 matches over 1.5 goals. Sydney most frequently scored between the 61-75 minute mark (50%), while Newcastle Jets scored during two intervals: 46-60 and 76-90 minutes (40% each). Sydney conceded most often between the 46-60 minutes (40%), and Newcastle Jets between the 0-15 and 46-60 minutes (33% each). Overall, Sydney shows low scoring tendencies, while Newcastle Jets are slightly more inclined to high-scoring games, but the average figures for both teams do not reach a confident over 2.5 total. A bet on under 3.5 goals is priced at 2.02 and seems logical, considering Sydney had only 1 out of 5 matches go over, and Newcastle Jets are not always consistent in scoring.
For corners, Sydney averages 5.4 per game, Newcastle Jets 4.2. In a five-match series, Sydney had 2 matches go over 9.5 corners, while Newcastle Jets had 3.

Overall, neither team shows exceptional corner results, but Sydney consistently earns more set pieces. It makes sense to consider a bet on Sydney's individual total corners over 5.5 or a total over 9.5, although the average values for both teams are close to this threshold, making the choice for corner bets quite balanced.
