Central Coast Mariners will play host to Adelaide United on Matchday 21 of the A-League this Saturday. The Mariners are sixth in the league standings, while the Reds are in fourth place. Check out our match prediction below!
Central Coast Mariners are enjoying an impressive run of form and moved into the top half of the table last week after a fairly straightforward 3-1 victory over Macarthur on the road.
With that result, the Mariners extended their unbeaten run in the top flight to seven games. Across the last five gameweeks, they have taken the joint-most points of any team in the league (13).
The hosts have also picked up eight points in their last four home games (W2 D2), a huge improvement after only earning one point in their four previous matches at this venue (D1 L3).
Meanwhile, Adelaide United were unable to take advantage of the teams around them dropping points last week, as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by second-bottom Wellington Phoenix.
They are now unbeaten in their last four league games (W2 D2), but have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their 10 matches in 2026, which was against Perth Glory last month.
The visitors have experienced a significant upturn in results on the road of late, as they are now unbeaten in their last five away games, following four consecutive away defeats at the start of the season.
