Match Analysis

Reason For Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets Betting Tips

• Central Coast Mariners conceded 55 times in 26 games last term
• Three of the last four clashes between these two have seen both teams score
• The Mariners have lost 10 of their last 14 A-League games

Little faith in both defences

Last season was one to forget for the Central Coast Mariners, who finished bottom of the pile with only 18 points from 26 games. The hosts also conceded 55 times over the course of the campaign – a league high.

The Newcastle Jets weren’t much of a force defensively, as they conceded 40 times over the course of the campaign. The majority of those (24/40) came on the road.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these two and in four of the last five clashes between them in Gosford.

Given that the Mariners kept one clean sheet in their last 20 A-League games we’re backing both teams to score as our first prediction. Meanwhile, the hosts had the league’s worst home record last term (W3 D3 L7) and have lost 10 of their last 14 A-League games so we’ve backed a 2-1 away win in our correct score prediction
