Wellington Phoenix form and stats

Overall A-League stats at home this season for Wellington Phoenix are 4-1-2 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Wellington Phoenix bring valid hopes of a third.

In their previous game, the manager U. Talay led his Wellington Phoenix to a defeat in the A-League match away at Brisbane Roar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Western Sydney Wanderers.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Wellington Phoenix have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found two games) they have won 1 time, drawn 0 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Wellington Phoenix in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. 8 goals have been conceded.

Newcastle Jets form and stats

There's been little loot from Newcastle Jets's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the A-League. Newcastle Jets, who have the most conceded goals (29) in A-League, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Bitter travels for Newcastle Jets as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Western United match. Three has not been a lucky number for Newcastle Jets as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Brisbane Roar match.

Newcastle Jets play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Melbourne City (placed 2nd). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Sydney.

Newcastle Jets goalkeeper Lewis Italiano had a great day against Melbourne City, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.

We have checked recent matches where Newcastle Jets have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were W2-D1-L7.

The attacking power of Newcastle Jets when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Newcastle Jets concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Wellington Phoenix won 5 games, 2 matches ended with a draw and Newcastle Jets has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 7 / 3
