KEY FACTS:

General

  • Newcastle haven’t scored against Adelaide in the last 4 matches.

  • Last week’s defeat was the club’s heaviest defeat at home and the second worst defeat in the club’s history. It came exactly 1 year after the 7-0 loss to Adelaide.
  • The Jets haven’t scored away from home since Rd4 against Melbourne City

Players

  • Mateo Poljak, Ben Kantarovski and Milos Trifunovic are all 1 booking away from an automatic suspension

  • At least one Jets player has received a booking in every match in this fixture’s history.
  • Newcastle have lost their last 3 matches on the road.

  • Eugene Galekovic has kept 10 clean sheets against the Jets.
