Newcastle Jets host Brisbane Roar in the A-League on Wednesday, as the hosts look to get out of the current rut that they find themselves in.
They have lost their last three games in a row, and are struggling to build any momentum.
In their last game on Sunday, the Jets lost 2-1 to Macarthur FC, which left them rooted to the bottom of the A-League standings for the moment.
Brisbane Roar last played a game 18 days ago, when they managed a 3-1 win over Melbourne Victory.
That was the ideal way to bounce back for Brisbane Roar after a loss in their opening game. They will now look to carry that momentum into a clash against a side devoid of any confidence.
Newcastle Jets vs Brisbane Roar Head-to-Head
In 46 previous matches that the two sides have played against each other, Newcastle Jets have won 19 times. Brisbane Roar have only managed 15 wins against Wednesday's opponents.
