It's early days in the A-League and both Western Sydney Wanderers and Newcastle Jets are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
- Newcastle Jets has the most scored goals in the first half (3) in A-League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Western Sydney Wanderers form and stats
The home fans saw their team lose the first A-League game of the season here at Spotless Stadium. Last season these fans witnessed 5 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses from Western Sydney Wanderers's 13 home games.
A good away victory last time out for Western Sydney Wanderers, who won 1-0 against Central Coast Mariners (placed 1st). 1-1 away at Sydney before that.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of C. Robinson when Nicolai Müller scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 62nd minute.
This is expected to be a close game, with Western Sydney Wanderers perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Western Sydney Wanderers as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Western Sydney Wanderers has won four of these, drawn four and lost three.
Early season league goal statistics from Western Sydney Wanderers's 1 home game: 0 goals, 1 conceded.
Newcastle Jets form and stats
Things could have gone better for Newcastle Jets in their A-League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Newcastle, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Wellington Phoenix (placed 11th) in the A-League last time out. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Brisbane Roar.
Newcastle goalie Jack Duncan was high and low in the Wellington Phoenix game, contributing seven saves towards the victory.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Newcastle Jets in our archives, and the results are: seven wins for Newcastle, two draws and three defeats.
2 goals so far away for Newcastle Jets, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
