Player to watch: Bruno Fornaroli

Fornaroli is enjoying life at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. Wasn’t always the case. At the beginning of the campaign, he was a bench warmer under coach Patrick Kisnorbo’s rule. However, the new manager appreciates Fornaroli’s talent and the veteran didn’t let him down by scoring three goals.

Second player to watch: Eli Adams

Winger Eli Adams is the Jets’ big hope of getting something on the 8th of February. He scored three goals this season and does have a chance to hurt our Newcastle Jets vs Melbourne Victory prediction.
