Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 home win over Brisbane Roar in their last league game, Newcastle United Jets will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Brisbane Roar managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Supremo Rob Stanton will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
When it comes to home matches at McDonald Jones Stadium, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 6 league goals for Newcastle United Jets in their last 6 home games.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Melbourne Victory, Wellington Phoenix had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Melbourne Victory had 19 shots on goal with 6 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Goalscorer Kosta Barbarouses will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 8 goals in his last 6 league matches for Wellington Phoenix.
It was an unmittigated disaster for Wellington Phoenix last time they met Newcastle United Jets in the league, with The Jets turning the form book on its head to beat Wellington 0-3.
