Newcastle Jets are in good recent form, having defeated Sydney FC 2-0 at home in their last league match, extending their winning streak to two games. They currently sit 6th in the Australia A-League, with a strong attack (16 goals in 9 matches) but vulnerabilities in defence (16 goals conceded). Their home form is a key advantage, remaining unbeaten recently with good attacking efficiency. Macarthur FC, the away team, are currently 7th in the league and have shown overall stability, remaining unbeaten in their last 6 matches across all competitions (2 wins, 4 draws). However, their away form is relatively weak, with only 1 win in their last 5 away league matches. Their attacking efficiency is not high (7 goals in 9 matches), but their defence is relatively more stable (9 goals conceded). The Jets have shown inconsistent form this season, currently 10th with a record of 4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. Their biggest problem is in defence, having conceded 27 goals, the third most in the league. However, when playing at home, the Jets often demonstrate stronger fighting spirit – this season they have 3 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses at home, including draws against Sydney FC and victories over Melbourne Victory. Coach Stanley's 4-3-3 system emphasises wing attacks, but insufficient midfield defensive coverage often leads to defensive vulnerabilities. Newcastle Jets corner kicks -1, corner kicks over 11, over 3.5 goals!
