Under 3.5 goals at Central Coast Mariners vs Newcastle Jets 1/2 for Tuesday’s A-League showdown

Competition: A-League

Market: Under 3.5 goals

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the A-League table, the Central Coast Mariners will host Newcastle Jets on Tuesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to winning ways last time out, the Central Coast Mariners have enjoyed a hugely impressive campaign this year. In their 24 A-League matchups this season, they have recorded 11 wins, six draws and seven defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 29 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 39 and holding the third-best defensive tally in the division, victory in midweek would see them move within two points of the AFC Champions League spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen landing a 2-1 victory against Macarthur, Central Coast have lost just one of their last five A-League matchups. However, it should be highlighted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen each of those five matchups finish with under 3.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a woeful run of form, the Newcastle Jets appear destined to lift the wooden spoon this year. In their 23 A-League matchups this season, they have recorded just three wins, five draws and 15 defeats, scoring 19 and conceding 36 in return. Managing to muster themselves just a points tally of 14 and opening the midweek fixtures sat four points adrift at the foot of the table, it should also be noted that Newcastle hold the worst-attacking return in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen suffering a 2-1 defeat against Brisbane, Tuesday’s guests have failed to win any of their last 14 straight A-League matchups. With four of their last five matchups finishing with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
