The A-League is back in action with another round of fixtures this weekend as Newcastle Jets take on Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday. Both teams have been inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.
Western Sydney Wanderers are in eighth place in the A-League standings and are yet to hit their stride this season. The Wanderers suffered a 2-0 defeat against Central Coast Mariners last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Newcastle Jets, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have also had their problems this year. The Jets slumped to a 2-1 loss against Macarthur FC and have a point to prove in this match.
