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.
