Newcastle Jets are in good form, having secured two consecutive league victories. Their recent 2-0 home win against Sydney FC boosted their morale. They often play attacking football at home, with a strong ability to attack down the flanks. FC Macarthur has been steady recently, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions (3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss). Their defense has been excellent, with several clean sheets. Despite a mixed away record (1 win, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last 4 away games), they are adept at playing defensively and launching counter-attacks, showing strong discipline. The recent encounters between the two teams have been open. Four of their last six meetings saw over three total goals scored. Newcastle Jets won 3-0 at home against FC Macarthur a few months ago, which will give them a psychological advantage. Considering both teams are missing important players, the match might be tighter than expected. This match is a clash of styles: Newcastle Jets will aim to attack and score at home, while FC Macarthur will look to secure points through solid defense.
