Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets match preview

The Central Coast Mariners finished last season at the bottom of the A-League table, winning just five games out of 26. However, Alen Stajcic's side will be hoping for a much better campaign this time around after reinforcing their squad this year. While the Mariners endured a torrid 2020, they were able to end last season on a high, taking five points from their last three games. 

On the other hand, the Newcastle Jets finished last season in eighth place on the A-League standings. However, in October, manager Carl Robinson left the team to join the Western Sydney Wanderers. This led to Craig Deans being appointed as interim manager for the Jets.
