Newcastle Jets hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 11 points and a 11th position in the A-League table. Visiting Western United holds 7th place with 17 pts.
- Newcastle Jets have the fewest scored goals (12) in A-League
- Western United have the fewest matches over the total-line (4) in A-League
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a A-League game only four days ago.
These teams have little in common geographically as Western United have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Newcastle Jets form and stats
With 1 A-League win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Newcastle Jets, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in A-League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. It's trouble wherever Newcastle are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Newcastle Jets, their manager C. Deans and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Newcastle lost their last game at Perth Glory (placed 8th) after a 1-2 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Adelaide United with the scoreline 1-4.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Newcastle have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost seven.
Newcastle Jets have scored 5 league goals here from 6 matches, not a lot. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Newcastle Jets with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Western United form and stats
As the visiting team in A-League matches, Western United have produced an overall stat of 1-0-4 so far. Western seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
