The second leg of the A-League semi-final between Newcastle Jets and Sydney FC is finely poised after their 1-1 draw in Sydney. Newcastle, winners of the Premiers Plate and with strong home form, are favorites to advance to the Grand Final. Both teams have a tendency towards lower scoring matches, with under 3.5 goals in most recent games. Expect another tight contest, with Newcastle backed to qualify. Star players like Clayton Taylor could be influential and are tip-worthy for goal scoring.

Newcastle Jets vs Sydney FC Head To Head

Sydney won the first meeting this season 4-1. The Jets responded with 2-1 and 2-0 wins before last week's 1-1 share of the spoils in the first leg.

Newcastle Jets Form - Jets Still Eyeing Treble

It's been a spectacular season for the Jets, who are still harbouring ambitions of securing an unprecedented domestic treble.

Mark Milligan brought instant success to the Jets, winning the Australia Cup in preseason before leading his young side to the minor premiership, with Newcastle celebrating with a 4-0 win over the Mariners at home on the final day of the regular campaign.

After earning a week off, the Jets returned to action last week and were solid on the road. Clayton Taylor set up the equaliser with a dazzling run down the left flank before squaring perfectly inside for Eli Adams to fire home the equaliser.

Sydney FC Form - Sky Blues Struggling For Wins

It was a bumpy road throughout the season and it got to a stage where Sydney weren't assured of finals football, which led to the departure of Ufuk Talay.

Patrick Kisnorbo took charge of the club and while he hasn't set the world on fire, he's steadied the ship as the Sky Blues have gone unbeaten in their last six games.

However, two wins from nine games isn't great form for Sydney - but technically, they don't need to win a game inside 90 minutes for the remainder of the season to be crowned premiers.

Sydney took the lead through on-loan striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos in the 50th minute last week, but their advantage didn't last for long as Newcastle scored eight minutes later. Kisnorbo was buoyed by his side's display, despite failing to finish the job at home.

Verdict

The Jets are backed to make the Grand Final in a game that once again sees Under 3.5 goals.
