It's still early in the A-League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Newcastle Jets - Macarthur preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Newcastle Jets form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first A-League game of the season here at McDonald Jones Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses from Newcastle Jets's 13 home games.
The Newcastle Jets crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Western Sydney Wanderers here at McDonald Jones Stadium in a A-League match. Prior to that, an away loss at Central Coast Mariners.
This is expected to be a close game, with Newcastle 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 three of these, drawn three and lost six.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Newcastle Jets as they have a new game in only three days, a A-League match thankfully also at home. Brisbane Roar are visiting.
Early season league goal statistics from Newcastle Jets's 1 home game: 1 goal, 2 conceded.
Macarthur form and stats
The visitors are W1-D0-L0 on the road this term. That's in the A-League.
There were no winners in Macarthur's previous match, a A-League home game that ended 1-1 vs Wellington Phoenix (placed 9th). Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Central Coast Mariners.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Macarthur in our archives, and the results are: one win for Macarthur, zero draws and zero defeats.
1 goal so far away for Macarthur, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 0. All from 1 league match away.
