Western United FC are chasing three consecutive wins when Newcastle Jets come to GMHBA Stadium on Saturday night (kick-off 7.30pm AEDT).
Mark Rudan’s troops have recorded back-to-back come-from-behind wins over Melbourne Victory and Western Sydney Wanderers over the last fortnight.
While they have shown great resilience in both of those victories, Rudan will be hoping for a better start in this one.
The Jets remain without a win heading into Round 6 although they put in an excellent showing to draw 1-1 with Premiers Perth Glory last weekend.
