Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction

Newcastle Jets come into this one on the back of a 4-1 hammering at the hands of Western Sydney Wanderers in New South Wales a couple of weeks ago; those two defeats sandwiching a victory against Macarthur. They face a Central Coast Mariners that finished first last season but have underperformed during this campaign with just one goal scored and three draws with a defeat in their opening four matches. Despite that average start, it still seems likely they will avoid defeat in this one. 

Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Tip: Double chance – Central Coast Mariners to win or draw
