Saturday’s A-League action kicks off with Central Coast Mariners playing host to Macarthur FC. The Mariners are bottom of the league standings after 12 games, while the Bulls are in third place. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Central Coast Mariners have made a poor start to the season, having now only managed 11 points from 12 games following a 3-0 loss to Perth Glory on the road last weekend. 

That result marked the Marines' fifth defeat in six games, with the exception being a 4-0 victory over Adelaide United. They also conceded two or more goals in each loss during this period. 

After taking five points from their first three home games this season (W1 D2), the hosts are now on a three-match losing streak at home. These sides played to a 2-2 draw at this venue last season. 

Meanwhile, Macarthur suffered a 3-0 loss to Sydney FC last week, but they will still be content with the start they’ve made to this season, now on 19 points, five behind leaders Auckland. 

That defeat to Sydney ended the Bulls' seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions (W4 D3) and was the first time they failed to score in a match since the start of December. 

The visitors have been in excellent form on the road of late, currently unbeaten in their last five games (W4 D1), while having averaged two goals per 90 in this period.

Our Central Coast Mariners vs Macarthur FC Prediction

Central Coast Mariners have endured a very poor start to the season, and enter this match off the back of a 3-0 hiding against Perth Glory, which was their fifth loss in their last six league games. 

Macarthur, meanwhile, will be determined to bounce back from their loss to Sydney FC last week. They are unbeaten in their last five away games in all competitions, and we fancy them to take the three points in this one, but we will opt for some safety as our primary wager. Our Central Coast Mariners vs Macarthur prediction is Macarthur draw no bet.
