Show Preview
The Brisbane Roar clash with the Newcastle Jets to draw the curtains on a truncated week of A-League action. Join The Roar for live scores of the match from 6:10pm (AEDT).
They’ve only played seven games so far, but already it’s been a season of two halves for the Jets. They started poorly – really poorly – with all of their first four fixtures finishing in one-goal defeats.
Since then, though, they’ve turned a corner, going undefeated in their last three matches and winning two of them. With Craig Deans finally confirmed as the club’s head coach on a permanent basis, there’s a sense that Newcastle are on the right path again – maybe not for the finals, but at least for a steady, respectable season.
Brisbane, on the other hand, have been on fire. Or at least, they had been before running into a Macarthur outfit which ended their run of four straight wins with a 2-0 upset victory at Redcliffe mid-week.
The Roar hadn’t tasted defeat since their season opener, so how Warren Moon’s men respond to some rare adversity will be particularly interesting. The should bounce back with a victory, and the bookies have them as handy favourites for this evening’s clash, but Tuesday’s loss will serve as a handy reminder that they can’t afford to be complacent against a side they’re well on top of on the ladder.
