Melbourne City vs Newcastle Jets Preview

Melbourne City can climb into the top two on the A-League ladder with victory over the Newcastle Jets and I'm backing them to do so. City's last six wins have been with a clean sheet and I'm predicting another shut-out for the hosts.

Head To Head

City are unbeaten in the last seven meetings between the teams, winning five of those fixtures - including a 1-0 victory in the most-recent encounter back in Round 1, with Marco Tilio scoring the winner after just two minutes.

Melbourne City Form

After losing three straight games from late January to early February, City have regained their best form and head into this contest unbeaten in their last four outings.

City have won three of those four games, which has lifted them into third spot on the ladder with a game in hand - meaning if they emerge triumphant in this clash, they will leapfrog Western United into second.

Defence has been the foundation for City's success - they have conceded the least amount of goals in the competition (17), with their last six wins coming to nil, including a comfortable 2-0 victory over Macarthur FC this past weekend as Max Caputo scored a brace.

Yonatan Cohen and Steven Urgarkovic returned off the bench for City last week, meaning they are slowly getting back to full strength. James Jeggo remains in doubt for this encounter.

Newcastle Jets Form

It's been a great little resurgence for the Jets, who have still given themselves a mathematical chance of making the finals after going unbeaten in their last six matches.

However, you know when you start talking 'mathematical chance' that you're in trouble. Newcastle have. almost certainly left their run too late after registering good wins over Adelaide United, Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory.

The Jets were aiming to record four wins on the trot for the first time since 2009 when they squared off against league leaders Auckland on Sunday, but a missed penalty from Kosta Grozos cost them a huge chance to come away with the win after Eli Adams had earlier scored a screamer from outside the box.

Ultimately, Newcastle couldn't find the winning streak and settled for a 1-1 draw.

Aleksandar Susnjar and Dane Ingham both returned from injury in the draw with Auckland, but Ben Gibson remains on the sidelines.

Verdict

Melbourne City v Newcastle Jets

City are one of the form teams in the competition, are almost back to full strength and their last six wins have come to nil. The hosts are decent value for another clean sheet here.
