Sydney FC vs Newcastle Jets Head To Head

Sydney ran away dominant 4-0 winners in Round 3 courtesy of an Al Hassan Toure hat-trick before the Jets turned the tables with 2-0 and 2-1 victories in Rounds 9 and 22.

Sydney FC Form - Big Blue Survived

It hasn't been pretty from Sydney this season, with the club sacking coach Ufuk Talay towards the end of the regular campaign.

A run of just one win from seven games forced Sydney into a sudden-death clash with Melbourne Victory last weekend - but they were able to rise to the occasion.

Devenish-Meares made a series of big saves before Patrick Wood scored the decisive goal with 10 minutes remaining.

Newcastle Jets Form - History Chasers

It's been an incredible season for the Jets, who have already picked up the Australia Cup and minor premiership, finishing top of the pile with 15 wins from 26 games, five points clear of Adelaide.

A thumping 4-0 win at home against rivals Central Coast was the perfect end to the regular campaign, with Will Dobson, Clayton Taylor, Eli Adams and Kota Mizunuma all getting on the scoresheet.

Newcastle scored 55 goals for the season, nine more than the next-best side - but Sydney have only conceded two goals under the leadership of Kisnorbo.

Verdict

A relatively low-scoring game is tipped for the first leg, with value on the draw.
