Newcastle Jets form and stats

Newcastle Jets have played 9 A-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). When Newcastle Jets hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Western Sydney Wanderers, Brisbane Roar and Newcastle Jets), they have won 2 of 2 matches! Two home wins in a row for Newcastle bring valid hopes of a third.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 227 minutes without scoring a league goal. Goodwin was the last player to find the net.

No payout for Newcastle Jets in their previous match, an away game at Brisbane Roar that ended in defeat 0-2. Midfielder Arqués was the best player on the team with a rating of 6.95 (out of ten) in that game. Arqués had 56 successful passes (of 69 total).

Preceding that game was the away draw at Perth Glory that finished 0-0.

The Newcastle Jets manager Papastamatis has got the team scoring with 19 from 9 home games in the league. More than 50 percent of these goals (10 in all) were scored after at least one hour had been played. Newcastle's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 11 times.

Perth Glory form and stats

There's been little loot from Perth Glory's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the A-League. Perth Glory only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 2 draws. Perth Glory are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Brisbane Roar fixture.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Melbourne Victory with 0-1 on the scoreboard.

Prior to that match, the Perth Glory manager García faced defeat when travelling to Macarthur and losing 2-4.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Perth when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing one and winning zero games.

A quick return to home after this game, as Perth Glory are hosting Wellington Phoenix in the A-League only three days away.

Perth Glory have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 10 league away games 11 goals have been scored. Many of these goals have come late in the games; more than 55 percent (10 goals) after the 60th minute. 14 goals have been conceded by Perth in these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The previous head to head match ended Perth Glory - Newcastle Jets 0-0, played this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - four - five (Newcastle wins - draws - Perth Glory wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
