Stats, history and transport info for the away match against Newcastle Jets.
The NRMA Insurance Western Sydney Wanders will look to carry last week-s form into their match against the Newcastle Jets at Hunter Stadium on Saturday 1 February with kick-off at 7:45pm AEDT.
While the Wanderers registered an emphatic win, and a performance to match, against Perth Gory last week, they face a new challenge this time around with the Jets playing host for the first time under new coach Clayton Zane.
The Wanderers have the upper hand historically having never conceded a goal at Hunter Stadium and winning the last three matches between the sides. Head-to-Head Wanderers have three wins, one draw and one loss.
The danger man will be Mark Bridge who has claimed four goals in his last three appearances against the Jets. With four goals, 31 shots and 19 crosses this season Bridge sets up an attacking move for the Red and Black every 11 touches.
The Jets have only scored once in their past three matches against the Red and Black and with the Wanderers defence holding the record for most clean sheets goals will be hard to come by for Newcastle.
