The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Adelaide United are in the 6th position while the guesting Newcastle Jets worry at 10th.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
These teams have little in common geographically as Newcastle Jets have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Adelaide United form and stats
Adelaide United have collected 18 points from their A-League home games so far after 6-0-4. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Adelaide United to get some points in this home game.
The Adelaide United fans got no joy from their last match, a A-League game also here at Coopers Stadium: A 1-5 defeat against Western United (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Adelaide United lost 1-2 at Melbourne Victory's place.
As you see from the result above, Adelaide United suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
