- There has never been a scoreless draw between these teams, and only one of the games has had less than 2 goals.
- Melbourne City have scored 9 goals in the last 2 matches against the Jets (2-5 and 0-4)
- When leading at half time, the Jets have never lost. However, the Jets haven’t scored a first half goal in the last 4 matches against City.
- The Jets have won 3 of their last 4 away games.
Players
- Lachlan Jackson became the 134th player to make an A-League appearance for the Jets.
- Should he play this week, Mark Birrighitti will equal the number of appearances of Ante Covic.
- A visa player has scored for the Jets in the last 4 away matches.
Coaches
- Scott Miller has equalled the best start to a season by any Jets coach. He is equal with Craig Deans and Gary Van Egmond (v2). A win this weekend will equal the start from 2012/13.
