Wellington 0 Melbourne City 1 in Australia this morning. The Phoenix lies in the ashes, and so do we.

Our own comeback must begin Down Under, where we're staying for one more day. Since 2011, Newcastle Jets have clashed with Adelaide 15 times in the A-League. Twelve of those games - including 6/7 at the Newcastle International Sports Centre - have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.

Last term, half of Newcastle's 14 home games ended with two match goals or fewer, including six of the first eight.

Guillermo Amor's Adelaide, who have logged clean sheets in five straight head-to-heads, have also shut out seven of their final 10 hosts last season. Six of those 10 games finished with Under 2.5 Goals in total and that's our bet of today (tomorrow).
