Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Preview & Prediction

The Mariners have the minor premiership within their grasp as they prepare for a F3 derby showdown with bitter rivals the Jets on Saturday.

Central Coast have a game in hand over Wellington, who currently sit one point above them on the ladder. Bottom line, the Mariners can secure the minor premiership if they win this game and their game in hand against Adelaide.

It’s been a brilliant season for the Mariners – they’ve bounced back from a slow start and the loss of their coach/several key players to put together another remarkable campaign.

Central Coast now have a very realistic chance of securing back-to-back premierships, while they are also still alive in the AFC Cup.

The Mariners have won seven of their last nine A-League games and will be aiming for four straight victories over Newcastle.

It’s been another season to forget for the Jets, who are under threat of folding as a club and will miss the finals once again.

In saying that, Newcastle have shown great resolve over the last month, going unbeaten in their last four games, including beating Sydney and Brisbane, while they drew 1-1 with Wellington last week at home.

VERDICT:

The Jets have been fighting hard lately, but the Mariners are a class above at the moment and have won the last four meetings between the teams. They are deserved favourites on Saturday (Best Mariners win H2H odds $1.90 with bet365.)
