Western United, Recent FormWestern United will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Melbourne City in which they suffered a 4-0 away defeat. They came away from that fixture with 47% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Melbourne City managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's fair to say that manager John Aloisi will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 18 games in a row. Having shipped at least a single goal in 9 of their 11 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
It's been a mixed run of form at GMHBA Stadium for Western Utd recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Aleksandar Prijović will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Western United.
Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormThe 2-0 away defeat to Macarthur FC will not have sat easily with the Newcastle United Jets squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Macarthur FC's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 10 of their 11 league matches this season.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
In their previous 4 encounters with Western Utd, The Jets have shipped at least one goal in those matches.

NU Jets manager Arthur Papas has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
