Brisbane Roar Coach Record – John Aloisi 28% win ratio (2 wins, 3 drawn, 2 losses)

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

  • Marked the final match for former captain Michael Bridges. In the 2-0 win, Bridges provided an assist for the 90th minute goal from Adam Taggart. Bridges made 66 appearances in 5 seasons with the club.

General

  • Newcastle have never defeated Adelaide when they have faced off in Rd 1.
  • The Jets have won 3, drawn 4 and lost 4 of their first round matches.
  • There was only 1 goals scored between these teams in the 3 fixtures last year. The goal was scored by Marcello Carrusca.
  • There have been 6 red cards shown in the last 6 matches at Hunter Stadium.
  • The Jets have scored 10 goals in the last 6 matches at Hunter Stadium – being held scoreless only once during this time.

Players

  • Devante Clut, Wayne Brown, Andrew Nabbout, Kristian Brymora, Ivan Vujica and Aleksandr Kokko are in line to make their A-League debut for the club. The next player to appear will be player #139 for the Jets.
  • Only 6 players have scored on their A-League debut for the Newcastle Jets. Milos Trifunovic and Byun Sung-Hwan are the only two to have scored a debut goal in Round 1.
  • This will be the first season in the last 4 that Mark Birighitti has not started in Round 1.
  • Jack Duncan could become just the 8th keeper to start a match for the Jets.
  • Newcastle have lost only once to Adelaide in the last 5 visits of United to Newcastle.

Newcastle Jets

  • The Jets haven’t scored a first half goal against Adelaide in the last 2 seasons.
  • The Jets conceded a penalty in their last 3 matches at the end of last season.
  • The Jets have scored the first goal in 3 of their last 4 A-League matches.
  • The Jets are 16528 attendees away from having their 1,500,000 person at a Jets match.
  • Newcastle have never recovered a point when they have gone behind to Adelaide.

Adelaide United

  • Adelaide have kept Newcastle scoreless for the last 459 minutes of play. The last goal scored by a Jets player against Adelaide was Jeronimo Neumann.
  • Guillermo Amor is undefeated against the Jets.

Injuries

  • Newcastle Jets Daniel Alessi – Knee (Season).
  • Adelaide United

PREDICTION: –
After what seemed like an uncharacteristically stable off season where a gradual build-up in friendly matches and an overseas tour, the Jets again delivered by terminating the contract of Scott Miller. After a 3 week search the Jets appointed former assistant Mark Jones in his first A-League coaching job – the third debut appointment in a row for the club.
Despite losing 3-1 to the Victory on a wild wet and windy night in the FFA Cup, the Jets have had a generally successful preseason – highlighted by the goalscoring form of Andrew Hoole and Andrew Nabbout. This might come too quick for Mateo Poljak (Hamstring) and Labinot Haliti (Knee) to return from injury.
Reigning champions Adelaide have lost a number of players, primarily in the forward line but have otherwise managed to retain the spine of their title winning team.
The Jets haven’t had a great recent record against Adelaide. Will Mark Jones have had enough time to make his influence on the team prior to this match? How will Adelaide’s new look forward line gel?
I think the departure of Miller so close to the start of the season will see the Jets struggle as they adapt to his game plan while the champions will have too much class.
LINE UP (Predicted) Duncan, Hoffman, Mullen, Boogaard, Cowburn, Ugarkovic, Brown, Nabbout, Nordstrand, Hoole, Kokko.
Adelaide 1-0
