Newcastle United Jets won't feel too deflated by the 5-3 away defeat to Melbourne Victory, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table.  They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Melbourne Victory's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.  

Their boss Rob Stanton is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 16 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.  

They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.

When Western Sydney Wanderers last played in the league they faced Western United and produced an outstanding 5-0 home win.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target. Western United had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.  

While they have been strong in attack with 15 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

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.  

Brandon Borrello is the man of the moment at Western Sydney Wanderers right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 6 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
