The Wellington Phoenix team enters this edition of the Australian championship with the goal of being one of the top six in the leaderboard. Despite having relatively high goals, the team led by coach Ufuk Talay has yet to win in this A-League, after two games, so it ranks ninth in the leaderboard, with only one point added, as well as Western United. After getting off to a bad start with a 1×2 loss to Sydney FC, Wellington Phoenix scored their first point a week and a half ago in a game at the home of Macarthur FC. They tied 1×1 with a goal from Ball (39 ‘), which put Wellington Phoenix ahead before the break, but allowed the equalizer after Rufer was sent off (69′).
Newcastle :
After 4 defeats, the visiting team is currently in 12th position, without having won any points. In their last match, they lost to Brisbane Roar at home by (1‑2), after losing in the previous match at home, against Macarthur, by (1‑2). This is a stronger team with the support of its fans, since in the last 30 games it has registered 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses as a visitor, with 13 goals scored and 26 suffered; against 6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium, with 21 goals scored and 20 suffered. In their last away match for this competition, they lost (1‑0) against Central Coast Mariners. In their last 10 away games the Newcastle Jets have 2 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses.
For this competition, record a sequence of 4 losses in the last matches. The team has not been very strong defensively, since they have always suffered goals in the last 4 matches, but their attack has scored regularly, since they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In 15 games, they suffered the first goal 7 times and only managed 1 comeback. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 16 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 6 of their 13 goals between minutes (46’ ‑ 60 ‘).
Although they are not one of the main candidates to qualify for international competition, the Newcastle Jets have enough quality to meddle in the fight for qualification for the knockout phase. After four games, coach Craig Deans would hardly imagine a more negative start, as the Jets still haven’t scored points and are 12th in the A-League standings. Last Wednesday, the Newcastle Jets played the third game in a row at their stadium, but failed again, this time against Brisbane Roar (1×2). The goal of honor was scored by Yuel (38 ‘), in a game in which the Jets were superior, but they missed a lot in the finish.
