TALKING POINTS:
Memorable Match – 5th February 2012
- The Jets play some of the most fluid and attacking football ever seen in the club, demolishing Sydney 5-2 on their home turf. Goals to Topor-Stanley, Zadkovich, Abbas and a double from Brockie give the Jets their biggest win over Sydney as well as being the first occasion the team scored 5 goals in a match.
General
- The Jets are currently 10 matches without a win against Sydney. They’ve only achieved 2 draws during that time while they have lost the last 5 matches against Sydney.
- The Jets have also only scored in one of the last 9 against Sydney. That was a 4-3 loss in Season 2014/15.
- Sydney currently sit atop the table with 3 wins from their first 3 matches
- Sydney haven’t conceded a goal in either the FFA Cup or the A-League this year – a run of 7 matches.
Players
- Alex Brosque has scored 4 goals in his last 3 appearances against Newcastle.
- Danny Vukovic will make his 35th appearance against the Jets. This is the most of any opposition player.
- Nigel Boogaard is the first Jets centre back to score in consecutive matches. Should he score this week, he will be the first player to score in 3 consecutive matches since Edson Montano.
- Former Jet David Carney will return to Newcastle for the first time since his mid-season departure from the club last year.
Newcastle Jets
- The Jets have remained undefeated after the first 3 matches of a season only once before – 2007/08 when they started with a 5 match streak without loss.
- If the Jets score this weekend, they will have scored in 8 consecutive A-League matches for the first time since the 2006/07 season, when the team scored in 10 matches in a row.
- Newcastle have scored 7 goals in the first 3 matches this season – the most in their history. The previous record was 5 in season 2012/13.
- The Jets have kept Sydney scoreless once in the last 22 matches.
Sydney FC

- The Jets are currently 284 minutes without scoring against Sydney.
