Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormIt's fair to say Wellington Phoenix will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Central Coast Mariners, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Central Coast Mariners' tally of 19 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Ufuk Talay will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 22 games in a row. Talay will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 9 games in a row.
It's been a mixed run of form at Sky Stadium for Wellington recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Goalscorer Oskar Zawada will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Wellington Phoenix.
Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Western United will have left the Newcastle United Jets squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Western United had 9 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Arthur Papas will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 15 of their 18 league matches this season.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Newcastle United Jets, Beka Mikeltadze will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 3-1 win for Newcastle United Jets.
