Newcastle Jets haven’t lost to the Central Coast Mariners in a regular season match since late 2005 and they will be out to continue their dominance in the F3 (highway) derby tonight.
Neither club has had a particularly good start to the season, but with Newcastle starting to hit form, Central Coast a bit thin due to injuries, and given the past history of meetings between these two teams the Jets will be seen as slight favourites.
Both teams have new key signings in Andrea Merenda (Mariners) and Mark Milligan (Newcastle Jets) who will be out to impress on their debuts.
This will no doubt be a tough match and the Newcastle Jets will need to step up again in order to consolidate their position in the top four. Good luck boys!
