Only a win will satisfy the Sydney supporters in this Netstrata Jubilee Stadium clash with Newcastle Jets, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the A-League table.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the A-League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Wellington Phoenix, was also a home game here at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Newcastle Jets form and stats
There's been little loot from Newcastle Jets's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 11 away games in the A-League. Newcastle Jets only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.
Newcastle won their last game, 2-1 versus Melbourne City played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Brisbane Roar wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Newcastle Jets playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Newcastle Jets manager C. Robinson as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Central Coast Mariners.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Newcastle have scored 11 goals in 11 league games away. Newcastle Jets have conceded 23 goals in these games.
