Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Newcastle Jets come into this game in poor form having won only once in their five most recent games. They have been leaky in defence, conceding seven goals in the time that they have only managed to put in four at the other end of the pitch. Sydney FC on the other hand have found joy in scoring over their last five games. 13 times they have gotten themselves a goal and those goals have helped them go unbeaten across their last two games, hoping to add another win this Saturday.

Newcastle Jets Preview

Formation: 3-4-3 Predicted Line-Up: Ryan Scott; Mark Natta, Aleksandar Susnjar, Phillip Cancar; Daniel Wilmering, Callum Timmins, Lachlan Bayliss, Thomas Aquilina; Clayton Taylor, Ben Gibson, Eli Adams

Newcastle United Jets have not had an amazing start to the season, finding themselves three places from rock bottom of the A-League table. After eight games they sit in 11th place with two wins and six losses. Those matches have left them with six points, a single point above 12th placed Perth Glory, the team that they beat 0-4 just two weeks ago. Stepping up this season for The Jets has been striker Ben Gibson. He has found the back of the net three times and provided three assists in the eight games he’s featured in this season. All the Newcastle Jets fans will be hoping that he can be relied on once more and try and grab another goal in the attempt to beat Sydney FC this Saturday.

Sydney FC Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1 Predicted Line-Up: Harrison Devenish-Meares; Jordan Courtney-Perkins, Alexandar Popovic, Hayden Matthews, Rhyan Grant; Anthony Cáceres, Corey Hollman; Joe Lolley, Anas Ouahim, Marin France; Adrian Segecic

Unlike their opponents, Sydney FC are having a decent start to the season, finding themselves just outside of the qualification places. After nine games they sit in eighth place with four wins, four losses and one draw. Those matches have left them with 13 points, a win and result going their way across the A-League and Sydney can climb to as high as fifth. In the goals for The Sky Blues has been winger Joe Lolley, formerly of Nottingham Forest. The 32 year old has put his name upon the scoresheet four times this season as well as providing two assists in the nine domestic games so far. With Newcastle Jets in such bad form, Lolley and the rest of the Sydney FC players have a great chance of capitalising on this opportunity on Saturday.
