Adelaide United and Newcastle Jets go head-to-head at the Hindmarsh Stadium in round 19 of the Australian A-League on Saturday. Both sides have had a contrasting campaign so far, with the Reds in contention for a top-two finish while the visitors find themselves at the wrong end of the table.
Adelaide United returned to winning ways last Friday when they edged out Melbourne City 1-0 on home turf courtesy of a second-half strike from Archie Goodwin.
This followed a humbling 4-1 defeat against Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium on February 1, a result which saw their five-game unbeaten run across all competitions come to an end.
Adelaide United have picked up 31 points from their 15 A-League matches so far to sit second in the standings, two points behind first-placed Auckland FC.
