Our Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle United Jets Prediction
What we have here are two of the most in-form teams in the division set to go head to head. Indeed, over the past five gameweeks, no other side in the top flight have earned more points than the Jets or Mariners.
The Jets are favourites for obvious reasons, but they have relied heavily on outscoring opponents to get results this season, having already conceded 29 goals, and we’re expecting similar in this one. Our Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets prediction is over 2.5.
