It is crunch time for both of these sides at Jubilee Oval when Sydney FC host Newcastle Jets in a battle to keep their Westfield W-League finals hopes alive.
Sydney FC entered the season as one of the favourites but inconsistent form has prevented them from keeping pace with the top four.

The Jets meanwhile are coming off a heartbreaking 3-2 loss at the hands of Adelaide United last time out.
Leading 2-1 heading into injury time, Newcastle conceded twice through Veronica Latsko and Isabel Hodgson as they slumped to their third loss in four outings to sit in second-last position on the ladder.

Despite a bad run of form Craig Deans’ charges are still in with a chance for post-season action with seven points to their name.
History points to an exciting match-up as this is a re-match of their thrilling Semi-Final last year, ending in a 3-2 win for the Sky Blues after extra time.
