Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormNewcastle United Jets will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Perth Glory, which ran out a 2-2 draw. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Perth Glory's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 13 of their 15 league games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at McDonald Jones Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Melbourne Victory, Recent FormConfidence will be high amongst the Melbourne Victory players after their welcome 3-1 home win last time out against Wellington Phoenix. They came away from that fixture with a 40% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Wellington Phoenix, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. 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.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table.
On an individual basis, Josh Brillante will be looking to cause Newcastle United Jets some problems having scored 2 goals in Melbourne Victory's last 6 away games in the league.
After a good 4-0 win for Melbourne Victory in this pair's last league encounter, Newcastle United Jets will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
In the past 4 away matches at NU Jets in the league, Victory have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at McDonald Jones Stadium, Victory has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to NU Jets in 4 games.
Jake Brimmer has scored in each of Victory's last 0 league games against NU Jets.
With no real injury worries, NU Jets manager Arthur Papas will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Victory manager Tony Popović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
