Head To Head
This will be the first ever meeting between the clubs.
Preston Lions Form
Preston are enjoying a solid season in NPL Victoria, currently sitting in fourth spot on the ladder and coming into this clash having won five of their last six games
Zoran Markovski's side beat St Albans, Heidelberg, George Cross, Avondale and Hume City before playing out a 0-0 stalemate with South Melbourne this past weekend.
Competing in the Australia Cup Round of 32 for the very first time, Preston thumped George Cross 6-0 in the final round of qualifying to make it to this stage.
Newcastle Jets Form
It was a magnificent season for the Jets, with the club winning the Australia Cup before going on to finish top during the A-League regular campaign.
That result secured Newcastle a spot in the lucrative Asian Champions League Elite competition for next season, but the Jets couldn't complete a domestic treble, going down on penalties to Sydney FC in the semi-finals.
The Jets played an exciting brand of up-tempo attacking football during Milligan's debut season in charge, scoring 55 goals in 26 games during the regular term.
Verdict
Preston can make this competitive and find the back of the net, but the Jets are tipped to advance.
