TEAMS PREVIEW

Newcastle Jets FC Preview

Newcastle come into this round 7th, with a record of 3 wins and 5 defeats and a -3 goal difference from 14:17, reflecting their open, high-risk style.​ Their latest outing produced a morale-boosting 3-1 away win over Wellington Phoenix, but that followed back-to-back losses to Melbourne City (0-1) and Perth Glory (1-2), highlighting their inconsistency.​

Going forward, the Jets are dangerous and rarely fail to create chances, as seen in strong attacking displays against Auckland FC and Perth.​



Defensively, however, they remain vulnerable, often leaving space in transition and conceding multiple goals against the division’s sharper attacks, something that will be severely tested by Sydney FC.​

Newcastle Jets Probable Lineup - Delianov; Wilmering, Natta, Cooper, Bertolssio; Grozos; Taylor, Adams, Badolato, Dobson; Rose

Sydney FC Preview

Sydney FC travel north as the form team of the competition, sitting top with 6 wins and 2 losses from 8 games and a league-best +10 goal difference.​ They arrive on the back of a professional 1-0 away win at Perth Glory and a 2-1 away success against Central Coast, with their only recent blemish a narrow 1-0 defeat to Western Sydney Wanderers.​

The Sky Blues combine a tight defence with a multi-pronged attack that has already delivered emphatic wins over Macarthur (2-0), Melbourne Victory (3-0) and Newcastle Jets themselves earlier this season.​


Their ability to control possession, press intelligently and strike quickly in the final third makes them formidable, particularly against sides that commit numbers forward like the Jets.​

Sydney FC Probable Lineup - Devenish-Meares; Garuccio, Grant, Tisserand, Grant; Youlley; Toure, Quispe, Quintal, King; Campuzano

NEWCASTLE JETS FC vs SYDNEY FC
Winning Prediction

Newcastle’s attacking intent and home backing should ensure an entertaining contest, and if they can start quickly, they have enough firepower to trouble Sydney’s back line.​
Yet Sydney FC’s superior organisation, recent form, and commanding head-to-head record suggest they are better equipped to exploit the Jets’ defensive gaps, making another high-scoring away victory for the league leaders the most likely outcome.​

Sydney FC to win 3-1.
