The visiting Perth Glory side should be favourites in this visit to Newcastle Jets, as the away team holds a 15 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Perth Glory, who are travelling more than 3900 kilometers to play this game.
Newcastle Jets form and stats
2-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the A-League numbers at home for Newcastle Jets so far this season.
The spoils were shared in Newcastle Jets's previous game, also at home. Visiting Melbourne Victory (placed 9th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. 1-1 away at Western Sydney Wanderers before that.
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 eleven games. Newcastle Jets has won three of these, drawn three and lost five.
Newcastle Jets has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Perth Glory form and stats
The visitors, who have the most clean sheets (6) in A-League, are W4-D4-L1 on the road this term. That's in the A-League. Things are running smoothly for Perth Glory who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Melbourne Victory. Visiting Perth Glory has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.
Perth Glory has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Brisbane Roar for a A-League game that ended a draw (1-1). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Tokyo's place.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Perth Glory playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Perth Glory wins, two draws and one defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Perth Glory now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A AFC Champions League game at Ulsan is waiting in only four days.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Perth Glory have scored 12 goals in 9 league games away. It's not easy to score on Perth Glory as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
