Melbourne City vs Newcastle Jets
Melbourne City won a landslide victory when they appeared at home to the Newcastle Jets last December. Saturday (1/18) this afternoon they want to get the same results when competing at home. This time they met in the 14th week of the Australian League which was held at the Rectangular Stadium.
When it was Melbourne City ahead with a striking score, 0-4, through brace Adrian Luna (3 ‘, 28’). The opportunity to play as a host should be able to achieve the same result because they have never lost in six matches, won five times, scored 14 goals, 4 clean sheets, and conceded only 3 times.
Apart from that, the home record this season is also quite satisfying with 4 wins from 6 matches. The amount was received after the beginning of this year a 3-2 lead over Wellington Phoenix. This achievement also helped Melbourne City rank in runner up with a collection of 23 digits.
In the enemy camp, Newcastle Jets did not move from the position of caretaker after being humiliated by Sydney FC on home turf. They competed last Friday (10/1) only to be humiliated with a score of 1-2. In fact this is the sixth match without a win, five defeats, in the Australian League competition.
With such a bad record, the possibility of making a surprise in Rectangular is too small. In fact, the Newcastle Jets are currently starting to fall behind four points from the closest participant. So, this is an opportunity for Melbourne City to maintain the runner-up position, while cutting the distance of eleven points from the summit.
