Central Coast Mariners will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Sydney FC.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Sydney FC, who had 20 shots on goal with 6 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 13 games.  With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Nick Montgomery will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.  

It's been mixed fortunes for CC Mariners at Industree Group Stadium recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 home games.

The Newcastle United Jets players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Brisbane Roar recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat.  They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Brisbane Roar, who managed 18 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.  

While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process.  They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the NU Jets camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.  

Beka Mikeltadze will be hoping to create problems for Central Coast Mariners in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Newcastle United Jets.
