Preview:
It doesn’t get any easier for the Jets this week, hosting ladder leaders Sydney FC on Friday night.
With a number of injuries to key personnel, the Jets have struggled this season and sit on the bottom of the A League ladder. In contrast, Sydney FC is having a standout A-League season and sit on top of the ladder, with a nine-point buffer from their nearest rivals. Not surprisingly, the Sky Blues lead the league in scoring with 28 goals from 12 games, while the Jets have conceded the most goals (25 from 11 games).
Expect the Jets to show a bit more resolve this week for caretaker coaches Craig Deans and Qiang Li, but in reality, it is a top against bottom matchup. Sydney FC have been ruthless this season and the scoreline at the end of the match will reflect that.
