Central Coast Mariners will host Premiers Newcastle Jets in their opening match of the 2026-27 A-League season on Saturday. These sides averaged well over a goal conceded per game last season, and our prediction is that we will see the net bulge at both ends in this one.
Central Coast Mariners endured another forgettable top-flight campaign in 2025-26, missing out on a spot in the Finals series by finishing in ninth place with just 32 points from their 26 games.
The Mariners were beaten 4-0 by this opponent on the final day of last season and have lost each of their last five games since then, including to Sydney United in the Australian Cup back in July.
The hosts only managed three league wins at home last season (D7 L3), but they are unbeaten in their last five against this opponent at this venue dating back to December 2022.
Meanwhile, the Newcastle Jets will have fond memories of facing the Mariners, as it was that victory over them that earned them their first major title back in February.
The cornerstone of the Jets’ success last term was their rampant attack that scored 55 goals, though that output was necessary given they also conceded 39 across their 26 matches.
The visitors had the best away record in the division last season (W8 D2 L3). However, they have lost their two AFC Champions League games this term and conceded 10 goals combined in those defeats.
