LiontipsCentral Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets. Prediction and bets on the Australian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Central Coast Mariners won the championship last season, beating Melbourne Victory in the final in extra time. Now they can’t even dream of such success, as the team is not even in the playoff zone and is only in ninth place in the standings. The hosts are three points behind the top 6, although they have played one match more. The good news is that the club has suffered only one defeat since the new year. The team from Gosford lost away to Sydney with a score of 1:4. In the remaining matches, they managed to win over Brisbane Roar (3:1) and Western Sydney Wanderers (3:1), as well as draws with Wellington Phoenix (0:0) and Western United (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Brad Tapp and Miguel de Pizio are out with injuries, while Angel Torres remains suspended and Nicolas Duarte and Lucas Mauraguis are doubtful.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has lost only one of its last six matches.
- The club has managed to win only one of its last ten home matches
Estimated cast: Cullen - Roux, Sainsbury, Kaltak, Kuzewski - McCalmont, Theocharus, Steele - Mikael Doka - Kuol, Brandtman.
Current form
Newcastle Jets can't shake off their status as an outsider in the Australian A-League. Last season, the team failed to compete for a place in the playoffs of the Australian championship, finishing the regular season only in tenth place. In the new season, the club position has only worsened. Now the visitors occupy only 11th place in the standings, ahead of only Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar. The team from Newcastle is already seven points behind the tenth Wellington Phoenix, so the chances of getting out of the bottom three are becoming less and less. After defeats from Macarthur (1:3) and Western United (1:3), the club tied with the penultimate Perth Glory (2:2). The visitors won their last victory on January 7, when they managed to beat the main outsider of the league, Brisbane Roar (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors are without Oscar Frier, Dale Ingham and Aleksandar Susnjar due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last six matches.
- The club have scored in each of their last seven matches
Tentative lineup: Scott - Wilmering, Susnyar, Grimaldi, Bayliss - Taylor, Natta, Grozos, Aquilinha - Wellisol, Timmins.

1.65Tip and bets
The hosts managed to significantly improve their results in January and plan to return to the playoff zone in the near future. To do this, they need to continue winning. Now the current champion will have a match with one of the main outsiders of the league. Newcastle Jets have recently managed to beat only the last club of the league, Brisbane Roar. It is unlikely that the club from Newcastle will be able to take points from the Mariners.
Our prediction is Central Coast Mariners win at 2.08
Bet on total
Both teams are extremely weak in defense and will most likely rely on attack in a face-to-face match. A draw will not suit anyone, so we should expect a game on opposite courses. We believe that with such a development of events, a goal extravaganza is inevitable.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.77
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please fans with an abundance of over totals, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.80
