Newcastle Jets form and stats

Newcastle Jets have played three A-League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The Newcastle Jets fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at McDonald Jones Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Adelaide United (placed 3rd). Boumale (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.01/10. Boumale served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 6 of 8 times and had 18 successful passes (of 22 total).

Prior to that, an away loss at Macarthur.

This is expected to be a close game, with Newcastle Jets perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newcastle Jets as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Newcastle Jets has won two of these, drawn three and lost seven.

Newcastle Jets have conceded 4 in these home matches.

Brisbane Roar form and stats

0-1-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Brisbane Roar in their A-League matches away.

The regulars enjoyed Brisbane's previous fixture versus Western Sydney Wanderers (placed 11th), a 3-0 win played at home. Mileusnić got a match rating of 8.12 in that game, top player of the team. Mileusnić scored two goals and hit the woodwork once.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Adelaide United.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brisbane Roar playing away and similar expectations, we found eleven relevant matches. Results were six Brisbane Roar wins, two draws and three defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Brisbane Roar's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. Brisbane Roar's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
