Western Sydney Wanderers will be looking to turn the page quickly as they prepare to host the Newcastle Jets at CommBank Stadium this Friday night in what promises to be a high-energy Ninja A-League clash.
The Red & Black come off a narrow 1-0 defeat to Adelaide United at Wanderers Football Park on Sunday. It was a game that showcased the team’s resilience and determination, with Poppie Hooks producing a crucial goal-line clearance, Milly Bennett testing the Adelaide keeper, and Allyssa Ng-Saad coming close to an equaliser.
While the result wasn’t what the Wanderers wanted, there were plenty of positives to build on as they aim to bounce back in front of their home crowd.
The Jets will arrive in Sydney following a 2-1 defeat to Melbourne Victory on Saturday. Newcastle started brightly, with Josie Allan and Alexis Collins troubling Victory goalkeeper Courtney Newbon early in the match.
They fought back after conceding, with Kelli Brown converting a penalty to level the scores, but a brilliant late strike from Holly Furphy ultimately gave Victory the win. The Jets will be keen to recover on the road, making this a clash where both teams are motivated to grab all three points.
Fans can expect a fast-paced, competitive encounter as the Wanderers look to combine attacking intent with their trademark grit and organisation.
With both sides capable of moments of brilliance, Friday night promises plenty of action, drama, and high-stakes football.
Kick-off is Friday 13 February, at CommBank Stadium. Be there early to soak up the atmosphere and cheer the Red & Black on as they go in search of another three points.
