Newcastle Jets will be in search of their first A-League win of the new season when they host Western Sydney Wanderers on Sunday. After two rounds of play the Jets find themselves 10th while the Wanderers are third. Newcastle Jets have played their opening two rounds of the campaign away from home. They will hope playing in front of home support propels them to a win. Robert Stanton’s men began the season rather positively as they earned a point in a 2-2 draw with Perth Glory. They would be unable to build on this in their next match and fell 5-3 to Melbourne Victory. The Jets, who were eliminated from the Australia Cup in the round of 32, haven’t won in their last three matches. The struggles they had last season seem not to have been dealt with. Sunday’s hosts have won only twice in their last 13 outings.

Western Sydney Wanderers are unbeaten in the last three meetings with the Jets. They have won twice and with their positive start to the season, they will be confident of maintaining this. The Wanderers have earned four points from their opening two fixtures and trail leaders Adelaide United by two points. Mark Rudan’s men began by drawing 0-0 with Wellington Phoenix before thumping Western United 5-0. Both matches had them as hosts. WSW, who exited the Cup at the quarterfinals stage, have won three of their last five games. All three victories have seen them score at least five goals in each.
