SYDNEY (Interstat) — Sydney hosts the Newcastle Jets in an A-League matchup on Saturday, March 21, 2026, looking to avenge a shutout loss from the last meeting between the clubs.

The Jets (10-6-4) won the most recent head-to-head contest 2-0 at home on Dec. 20, 2025. Sydney (9-5-6) had dominated the prior meeting, a 4-1 road victory on Nov. 1, 2025. According to Interstat’s game simulator, Sydney is projected to win 2-1.

Sydney enters with momentum from a 1-0 road victory over Melbourne City on Tuesday. The club has lost only once in its past five matches across all competitions.

Newcastle arrives after a frustrating 2-1 home loss to Auckland FC on March 14. A bright spot was the late impact of substitute Guillermo May, who provided an assist just moments after entering the match in the 90th minute. May, a player to watch, will be relied upon to spark an attack that was held scoreless in its previous away game, a 0-0 draw with the Central Coast Mariners on Feb. 28.

The Jets’ form has been inconsistent, with a 3-1-2 record in their past six league matches. Their defense, which conceded multiple goals only once in a seven-game stretch prior, has now allowed two goals in each of its last two outings.

Sydney’s schedule shows a pattern of resilient bounce-back performances. Following each of its last three defeats this season, Sydney responded with a victory in its next match.

After this contest, Sydney travels to face Brisbane Roar on April 2. Newcastle’s next match is at Macarthur on April 2.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. local time at Allianz Stadium.
