ℹ️ Team News: Newcastle United Jets

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Newcastle United Jets manager Robert Stanton to contend with from an otherwise complete group of players. Oscar Fryer (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out.

It seems likely that The Jets will probably use the 3-2-4-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Ryan Scott, Thomas Aquilina, Kostandinos Grozos, Aleksandar Susnjar, Kota Mizunuma, Daniel Wilmering, Eli Adams, Charles M'Mombwa, Callum Timmins, Clayton Taylor and Lachlan Rose.

📋 Team News: Central Coast Mariners

Central Coast Mariners boss Mark Jackson has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ryan Edmondson (unknown injury) and Brad Tapp (Cruciate ligament injury) are not able to play.

We are inclined to think that Mariners seem most likely to play in a 3-4-3 system, starting the game with Dylan Peraic-Cullen, Brian Kaltak, Trent Sainsbury, Nathan Paull, Mikael Doka, Alfie McCalmont, Harrison Steele, Lucas Mauragis, Christian Theoharous, Alou Kuol and Miguel Di Pizio.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Newcastle United Jets should be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Central Coast Mariners won’t find it easy getting goals although we do think it’s probable that they will be pulling one back during this clash, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 3-1 margin for Newcastle United Jets at the end of the 90 minutes.
