Newcastle Jets VS FC Macarthur

After nine rounds, the Jets have 12 points (W4, L5) and are three points behind third-placed Brisbane. The Bulls also have 12 points (W3, D3, L3). The Jets won 2-0 at home against Sydney FC last weekend, making it two victories in a row. They have three wins from their last four league games, with only the defeat against Melbourne City halting their surge. There’s still work to do, as the Jets have lost three of their four recent home fixtures. Their lone win came in the most recent league game here against Sydney, boosting hopes of building momentum. Macarthur held Melbourne City to a 1-1 away draw last time out to extend their unbeaten run (W1, D2). They will still be concerned over the lack of wins, as the Bulls won just two of their last seven league games (D3, L2). Their road form has improved with four points from their last two trips (W1, D1), which otherwise saw them lose the first two away league games of the campaign.
