Preview:
An intriguing contest takes us to the Hunter on Saturday afternoon and there is a case to be made for both the Jets and Adelaide recording their first win of the season, respectively.
Adelaide have weathered a tough start to the season. They drew the ever-dangerous Sydney FC first-up and were unlucky not to take anything from the five-goal thriller, before running into a credible Melbourne City away last week. They are a good side at their best and this looms as their best opportunity so far.
The Jets’ season began with a typically tough F3 Derby and they showed plenty of resolve to get back into the contest and ultimately take a point, having conceded only minutes into the contest. They will also improve and will be quietly confident of recording a win at home.
