Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Western United in their previous league match. They came away from that fixture with 49% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Western United managed 20 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
Manager Giancarlo Italiano will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Sky Stadium.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada will be looking to celebrate a goal with the home fans again and continue his hot scoring streak having scored in each of Wellington Phoenix's last 8 league games at Sky Stadium.
Newcastle United Jets, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 home defeat by Melbourne City will have left the Newcastle United Jets squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 9 attempts on goal, 1 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 13 shots on goal.
Supremo Rob Stanton will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 14 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Apostolos Stamatelopoulos will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Newcastle United Jets' last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Wellington Phoenix.
From their past 7 away matches in the league against Wellington, The Jets have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. NU Jets have an impressive record of scoring goals against The Nix, with a tally of 14 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
NU Jets has a poor track record in the league when they visit Wellington, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Wellington manager Giancarlo Italiano will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
NU Jets manager Rob Stanton has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
