Adelaide United will look to take advantage of Central Coast Mariners’ struggles in a matchday 11 fixture of the 2025-26 A-League campaign. This match on Sunday in Hindmarsh between the fifth-placed Reds and the 12th-placed Yellow & Navy comes with our prediction of a home win with both teams scoring goals.
Adelaide’s 15 points (W5, L5) see them start this round three points behind second-placed Sydney, while the Mariners have eight points (W2, D2, L6) that see them stuck in the basement, three points behind tenth.
A 3-2 home win over Western Sydney Warriors last matchday gave Adelaide a second league win in a row. These results helped them bounce back from a run of three consecutive defeats.
Adelaide are a strong force at home, winning four of their five home league matches this season (L1). With consistency a key target area to improve, Adelaide will hope to start their 2026 on a high.
The Mariners lost 2-1 at home to Brisbane Roar last time out, which marked their fourth defeat in a row in the league. They have now won a single point from their last six league fixtures (D1, L5), getting stuck at the wrong end of the table.
Their troubles are evident even on the road, as the Mariners are beaten in three of their four away league games (W1).

Our Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction
Central Coast Mariners are stuck in the basement of the points tally, having won just one point from their six recent league games. Although they have one win on the road, three defeats in four trips are an indicator of their struggles. Adelaide could look to pounce on that, as they aim to post three league wins for the first time this season.
What could work to Adelaide’s advantage is their impressive home form, although they may concede. Our Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners prediction is Adelaide United win and BTTS.
