Final score
Perth Glory 2
Newcastle Jets 0
Perth Glory welcome Newcastle Jets to HBF Park on Sunday evening in Round 16 of the 2018-19 A-League season. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 8pm (AEDT).
Following goalless draws in each of their last two fixtures, league leaders Perth Glory will be determined to get back to winning ways against Newcastle.
The Jets secured an important win over Central Coast Mariners in Round 15 and will hope to spoil the Perth party this Bank Holiday Weekend.
However, Glory has lost just two of the last 21 meetings between the two clubs.
Tony Popovic has Matthew Spiranovic and Jacob Italiano back in his Perth squad, whilst Newcastle boss, Ernie Merrick, can pencil in Jason Hoffman who is available again following suspension.
Prediction
Every squad is being tested to the limit at this stage with matches coming thick and fast.
How well these squad players step up to the mark will be crucial as we approach the business end of the season.
The goals may have dried up for Perth Glory of late, but they are still a team that continues to prove a tough nut to crack.
Tony Popovic has coached a tight defense and going forward they have the highest shot conversion rate in the A-League this season.
I expect them to rediscover their shooting boots in this match. A home win, but only just.
