Head To Head

The Jets stunned Victory with a 3-0 win at McDonald Jones Stadium back in Round 18, which was the only previous meeting between the teams this season.

Melbourne Victory Form

Victory are in decent form heading into the finals and they certainly won't fear any club in the top six as they chase Grand Final glory over the coming month.

Three wins in their last four games have propelled Victory into fifth spot on the ladder and with a chance at finishing in the top four if other results go their way this weekend.

Attack hasn't been an issue for Victory over the last month or so - they've defeated Adelaide 5-3 and Wellington 3-2, while their most-recent clash last week resulted in a 2-1 triumph over Macarthur.

Melbourne Victory Team News

Victory have a full compliment of players to choose from for this clash.

Newcastle Jets Form

Overall, it's been a solid season for the Jets, who put together the club's longest unbeaten streak (seven games) earlier in the campaign and are confirmed to finish in ninth spot.

Rob Stanton has done a terrific job with limited resources and an extremely inexperienced squad, but unfortunately he will manage his last game as Jets head coach after announcing he would be moving on at season's end.

After seeing their slim finals chances evaporate after blowing a 2-0 lead over Sydney FC, the Jets were flat in a 1-0 defeat at home to the Wanderers last week.

Newcastle Jets Team News

Stanton is expected to name a similar line-up to the side that went down to the Wanderers last week.

Verdict

Melbourne Victory v Newcastle Jets

Over 3.5 goals is predicted in what is shaping as an open game, while Victory are backed to prevail with both teams finding the back of the net.
