Perth Glory will entertain Newcastle Jets at HBF Park in Australian A-League action on Saturday. Although the season is still in its early stages, the competition is already heating up, with some teams struggling to find their footing.
Perth Glory vs Newcastle Jets Preview
Thanks for the submission!
Perth Glory are heading for matchday four on the back of a 4-0 win against Adelaide United. It was their first victory of the season following two successive losses. The hosts will hope to build on their fresh momentum as they take on the visitors for the sides’ second clash of the year. Newcastle Jets prevailed in the first game 3-1.
The Glory sit in the eighth spot on three points, trailing the summit by six points. A win this weekend could hand the hosts the morale booster needed to put their campaign in gear. Last term they finished 10th in the regular season and did not qualify for the Finals Series. Perth Glory last won the Premiership in 2018-19.
Newcastle Jets are yet to wake up from their slumber, with zero wins so far in three matches. The visitors are certainly not happy with their start to the new season, considering their performance last term. Last term, they topped the regular-season table to clinch the premiership. What seems to be wrong this time around?
The Jets could blame it on injuries, as three key players are currently sidelined, including left-winger Oscar Fryer. However, more than 10 new players joined the outfit during the offseason to boost the quality of the squad. Those efforts are yet to pay off. Newcastle Jets are winless in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
