Auckland will look to stay close to the top two in the 2025-26 A-League as they travel to Central Coast Mariners for this matchday eight fixture. This match on Friday at the Central Coast Stadium between the eighth-placed Mariners and the third-placed Black Knights comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.
After seven rounds, the Mariners have eight points (W2, D2, L3) and are a single point outside the Finals Series spots. Auckland’s 14 points (W4, D2, L1) put them just a point behind leaders Sydney FC at this stage of the campaign.
The Mariners lost 2-1 to table-toppers Sydney FC last matchday despite leading after a 10th-minute strike. They are now winless in three matches, drawing one and losing two, with all eyes on their defensive unit that has conceded ten goals this campaign.
The hosts have a job on their hands at this venue, where they are winless in three (D2, L1), including that defeat to Sydney.
Auckland won 3-1 at home against Wellington last matchday, bouncing back from the 2-1 loss to Newcastle Jets one match prior. Having started the season with three wins from the first four matchdays (D1), the onus is on the visitors to get back to winning ways.
The win over Wellington meant they have four points from their two league trips this season (W1, D1).

Our Central Coast Mariners vs Auckland FC Prediction
It’s still early days in the campaign, but Auckland are making the right noises with four wins and two draws keeping them just a point adrift of the leaders.

Regardless of their overall form, the Mariners have avoided defeat in three of four home matches this season, so it won’t be straightforward for Auckland.
This match could see action from both teams, and our Central Coast Mariners vs Auckland FC prediction is BTTS.
