Wellington Phoenix vs Newcastle Jets Preview

Wellington Phoenix have a 2-1 loss to Sydney FC and a 1-all draw with Macarthur FC to show for their two matches to date. A controversial red card to Alex Rufer cruelled the Phoneix against the Bulls, who cancelled out David Ball’s opener just five minutes after the midfielder’s 62nd-minute dismissal.

Rubbing salt into the wound, Rufer will miss one game through suspension.

Newcastle Jets’ campaign is already on the ropes, rocked by an ownership saga and losing all of their first four matches. They lost 1-0 to the Mariners and have suffered three straight 2-1 defeats to Wanderers, Macarthur and the Roar. Valentino Yuel scored the Jets’ goal in the latter two losses.

Wellington have won three and draw one of their last five against Newcastle. But after 4-1 and 2-1 losses across the ditch last season, the Jets scored a 3-0 upset of the finals-bound Phoenix in August after the resumption.

The Jets have not been disgraced in any of their losses, but it’s hard to go past the Phoenix – who are due a bit of luck – on Sunday.
