Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction and Betting Tips | November 22nd 2024

Newcastle Jets and Central Coast Mariners will battle for three points in an Australian A-League matchday five clash on Friday (November 22nd). The game will be played at the McDonald Jones Stadium.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-1 defeat away to Western Sydney Wanderers a fortnight ago. They were 2-0 down at the break courtesy of Nicolas Milanovic's first-half brace. The 23-year-old completed his hat-trick from the spot in the 75th minute after Zachary Sapsford and Anthony Pantazopoulos scored for both sides.

Central Coast Mariners, meanwhile, fell to a 3-0 defeat at home to Wellington Phoenix. Hideki Ishige, Kosta Barbarouses and Sam Sutton scored a goal each to help their side claim all three points.

The respective losses left both sides in ninth and 10th spots in the table with three points to their name, although Newcastle Jets have played one game fewer than their visitors.

Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction

Newcastle Jets have alternated between a loss and win across their three league games so far and will hope this trend continues after losing last time out.

Central Coast Mariners have had an atrocious start to the campaign and are yet to win a game across three competitions this season. The Gosford outfit are two-time defending champions but their quest for a three-peat has not gone to the intended script so far.

We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a high-scoring stalemate.
