The 1-0 away defeat to Macarthur FC will not have sat easily with the Western United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  During that encounter they had 44% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.  

They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Mars Stadium, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games.

Newcastle United Jets will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Western Sydney Wanderers with a 2-2 draw and a valuable point.  They came away from that fixture with a 34% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Western Sydney Wanderers, who managed 18 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.  

Their boss Rob Stanton is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games.  

Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.  

Goalscorer Apostolos Stamatelopoulos will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Newcastle United Jets.
