Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction

The Newcastle Jets have endured a generally miserable campaign but they have been much-improved of late with the hosts most recent outing beginning to turn the tide, though. They most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to the Wellington Phoenix to make it one victory in their last five matches. They now face a Central Coast Mariners side that finished at the top-of-the-table in last year’s regular season but they begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting tenth with just five victories in their 23 matches so far this season. Given how poor the visitors have been, it still appears to make sense to side with the Newcastle Jets for this one in New South Wales.
