Saturday’s A-League action kicks off at the Go Media Stadium with Auckland FC taking on Central Coast Mariners. The Black Knights lead the league standings, while the Mariners are in 11th place after 13 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Auckland FC have been stuttering in recent weeks, and after losing to Melbourne City on the road last weekend, there are now just three points separating the top four teams in the standings. 

The Black Knights have now dropped eight points in their last four league games (W1 D1 L2), which is a point more than they dropped across their first nine games of the season (W6 D2 L1).

The hosts have taken 10 points from their six home games this term (W3 D1 L2) and have failed to keep a clean sheet at the Go Media Stadium since the end of October. 

Meanwhile, Central Coast Mariners managed to move off the foot of the table last week when they salvaged a 1-1 draw at home against Macarthur, thanks to a Sabit James Ngor goal in the 77th minute.

The Mariners have now won just one of their last nine league games since late November, conceding two or more goals in seven of those matches, while only scoring seven. 

The visitors have won two and lost four of their six away games this season and held this opponent to a 2-2 draw in this fixture last term.
