TEAMS PREVIEW

Newcastle Jets FC Preview

The Jets currently occupy the second-from-the-bottom position in the A League standings. After 6 games, the team has managed to pick up 6 points with 2 wins and 4 losses. They have a negative goal difference of 4, having scored 11 goals and conceded 15 in the process.

The Jets head into the game on the back of a 2 1 win over Auckland FC. However, their previous run of form was poor, which included 3 losses on the trot. Now, it is important that the side continue their winning momentum when they take on the City Blues.

Mark Milligan’s boys love scoring, and 11 goals in the league is a representation of that. Unfortunately, they have conceded 15 goals, meaning they are yet to register a clean sheet this season. On average, the side scores 1.8 goals every game.

Newcastle Jets Probable Lineup:
Delianov; Wilmering, Natta, Cooper, Bertolissio; Grozos; Gibson, Badolato, Burgess, Bertoncello; Rose

The Blues are placed fifth in the standings with nine points to their name. This comes from their two wins, three draws, and one loss in the six games they have played so far this season. They have scored eight goals and conceded five, giving them a goal difference of +3.

The team heads into this game on the back of a goalless draw against Central Coast Mariners, but they will be eager to maintain their strong form and push for all three points against the Jets.

City also enjoy an average ball possession of 58 percent this season. They have a healthy scoring rate of 1.3 goals per game, but it is their defensive record that truly stands out. The side has kept four clean sheets in six matches and will look to continue their excellent form in the upcoming tie.

Melbourne City FC Probable Lineup:
Beach; Behich, Souprayen, Ferreyra, Kutleshi; Schreiber, Trewin, Kanamori; Rahmani, Caputo, Nabbout
