Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormNewcastle United Jets will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 away win against Brisbane Roar. During that encounter they had 36% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 23 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Rob Stanton will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 11 home games this season.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
On an individual basis, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 16 goals in Newcastle United Jets' 25 league games this season.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 home win against Melbourne Victory. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Melbourne Victory, who managed 21 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Giancarlo Italiano will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Kosta Barbarouses is giving Wellington Phoenix's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-2 win for Wellington Phoenix.
Goals should be on the cards for NU Jets in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Nix in their last 7 meetings together.
With no real injury worries, NU Jets manager Rob Stanton will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Wellington manager Giancarlo Italiano has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
