Newcastle Jets vs Macarthur FC Preview

The Newcastle Jets upset Macarthur in Round 2 but I'm backing revenge to be exacted in this rematch. The Bulls are good value on the road and both teams are tipped to find the back of the net.

Head To Head

These two teams have been familiar this season with Macarthur coming from behind to knock the Jets out of the Australia Cup and Newcastle doing the same to emerge 2-1 winners in Round 2 of the A-League season.

Newcastle Jets Form

The Jets are enjoying their best period of the season heading into this clash, going unbeaten in three of their last four games.

It all started with a thumping 4-0 victory on the road against Perth Glory, but after the bye, Newcastle couldn't back it up in a 2-1 defeat across the ditch against Wellington Phoenix.

Although a 2-2 draw against Sydney FC sounds good on paper, the Jets blew a 2-0 lead with 15 minutes remaining to share the spoils before edging out a 1-0 victory against rock-bottom Brisbane Roar in midweek.

Returning striker Lachie Rose scored the winner after some brilliant lead-up work from Wellissol and Thomas Aquilina.

Newcastle have hauled themselves to within eight points of the top six with two games in hand, but they need to keep winning in order to have a realistic shot at the finals.

Rose and Wellissol could be a chance to come into the starting line-up after the pair came off the bench and heavily influenced the outcome in the win over Brisbane on Tuesday.

Macarthur Form

Macarthur come into Round 13 sitting in fifth spot on the ladder with five wins, three draws and four defeats.

Macarthur are inconsistent but they have proven they have the firepower to beat anyone, with the likes of Jed Drew and Marin Jakolis (each with five goals and assists so far this season), along with Valere Germain forming an explosive front three.

Germain put Macarthur ahead in their most-recent outing against Adelaide on Monday, but once again they suffered a concentration lapse and conceded two late goals to fall 2-1.

That defeat snapped a two-game winning run for Macarthur, with the team scoring three goals each in victories over the Wanderers and Perth.

Macarthur Form

Tomislav Uskok and Liam Rose are back in the squad this week, but still no sign of injured Socceroos winger Chris Ikonomidis, who is yet to feature for his new club this season.

Verdict

Newcastle Jets v Macarthur FC

Macarthur's firepower in the final third should prove too strong, with Jed Drew good value to open the scoring as he searches for his sixth goal of the campaign.
