NJ vs BRB Dream11: Two out-of-form teams meet in this clash with both Newcastle Jets and Brisbane Roar desperate for the win. The Jets are stuck at the foot of the ladder having failed to win any of their last 13 matches with Central Coast Mariners the latest side to get the better of them. The Roar on the other hand have managed just one win in their last five, although they have only lost two games during that run so their form is considerably better than that of the hosts. The Roar have in fact lost just two of their last ten but it is the three points they will be looking for here and they can end a three-match run without a victory by coming out on top here.
Date: 21 May, Friday Time: 2:35 PM (IST) Venue: McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle
