TALKING POINTS:
Memorable Match - 17th November 2013
- The first match where the Jets came from behind at half time to win. Brisbane took the lead through a Luke Bratten goal on a soggy afternoon in Newcastle. The second half saw the Jets score two goals through Adam Taggart, with a little help from a large puddle of water, to run out 2-1 winners.
General
- There has only been one scoreless match between these two teams in the history of the A-League.
- The Jets last beat Brisbane in February 2014.
- The Jets are 7383 attendees from having 1.5 million people attend an A-League game at the stadium.
- Mark Jones and Nick Nick Theodorakopoulos are the only managers in Jets history to draw their opening match.
- Gary Van Egmond is the only manager to have won his first match against the Roar.
Players
- Wayne Brown is the 7th Jets player to score on his A-League debut.
- The last substitute to score for the Jets, Radavan Pavicevic, scored his goal against the Roar.
- 5 players made their debut for the club last week, the same number as Round 1 in the previous two seasons.
- Wayne Brown is the 66th player to score for the Jets.
Newcastle Jets
- The Jets have scored the first goal in their last 3 fixtures.
- The Jets have won 5 of the 10 fixtures held on a Sunday between these 2 clubs, while 2 of the 3 wins in Newcastle have come on a Sunday.
- Newcastle have scored a goal in their last 5 games - the longest streak in 2.5 years.
Brisbane Roar
- Brisbane have scored the first goal in this fixture on 5 of the last 6 occasions.
- Brisbane have managed to claim 20 points from a losing position against the Jets over the course of the A-League's history - the most of any team against Newcastle.
Injuries
- Newcastle Jets Daniel Alessi - Knee (Season), Mateo Poljak - Calf (possible), Morten Nordstrand - Knee (possible), Daniel Mullen - Knee (12 weeks), Ben Kennedy - Achilles (Season), Jason Hoffman - Calf (Unknown)
- Brisbane Roar
PREDICTION: –
After one round, the Jets are already facing a test of their squad depth with Mullen sustaining a serious knee injury while Hoffman and Kokko are also in doubt. The return of Poljak and Nordstrand should help to aleviate the loss.
Jacob Pepper will likely deputise for the suspended Matt McKay in midfield. The socceroos midfielder's presence will be missed but Pepper will bring energy for the Roar in the middle of the park.
The Jets will look to build upon a solid first performance against Adelaide, but to do so they will need to defy a trend of poor restuls againts the Roar in Newcastle.
With the 1.5 millionth fan at the stadium likely to be in attendance on Sunday, I think the Jets will have enough to get over the line.
Jets 2-1
