3rd vs 6th : Gold Coast vs Newcastle Jets
The second match of the A-League finals series will feature Gold Coast United who finished third against the Newcastle Jets who finished sixth.
The two teams have had very different seasons with the Gold Coast staying at the top for most of the season and the Jets only coming into contention towards the end the season after a series of five consecutive wins.
The wins took the Jets from near the bottom to as high as fourth but another loss of form meant they drifted down to sixth.
There was a ten point difference between the two teams but between a finals match anything is possible:
