Open poll and resultsCentral Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets prediction
Central Coast Mariners failed to finish in the top six last season, ending in ninth place with eight wins, eight draws and ten defeats in 26 matches. It won’t get easier for them to start 2026-27 as Newcastle Jets come to town. After ending the regular season top of the table, the Jets were hugely disappointed not to come away with the title, losing on penalties to Sydney FC in the semi-finals.
You would expect a fired-up Newcastle Jets side to start fast against the Mariners, having had to stew on that tough loss throughout the off-season. The visitors remain one of the best teams in Australia right now and have to be favoured to get the better of Central Coast Mariners.
