Saturday’s final curtain in the A-League will see Central Coast Mariners playing host to Sydney FC. The Mariners are in sixth place, while the Sky Blues lead the league standings after six games. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Central Coast Mariners have made a mixed start to the season (W2 D2 L2), scoring seven goals while conceding eight. Their last match ended in a goalless draw against Melbourne City. 

The Mariners have now kept clean sheets in two of their last three league games. That is a notable improvement, having last kept a clean sheet in January against Wellington Phoenix. 

The hosts have taken five points from their three home games this season (W1 D2), which is the same number of points as they earned in their seven preceding league matches at this venue. 

Meanwhile, Sydney FC are enjoying an impressive start to the season, but they saw their four-match win streak brought to an end last weekend, 1-0 in the Sydney Derby. 

Despite drawing a blank in that match, the Sky Blues are still the highest-scoring team in the league (12). Joe Lolly is the joint-leading scorer this term with four goals and two assists. 

However, both the visitors’ defeats this season came in their three away games, while they also lost 2-1 at this venue last term.

Central Coast Mariners - Sydney Key Points

  1. Four of Central Coast Mariners’ last five league games have ended with under 3.5 goals.
  2. Central Coast Mariners have kept clean sheets in two of their last three games.
  3. Five of Sydney FC’s six league games this season have ended with under 3.5 goals.
  4. Fewer than four goals were scored in five of the last six matches between these sides.

Our Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney Prediction

Central Coast Mariners have laid a solid foundation for the season, and they will see last week’s stalemate against Melbourne City as a point earned rather than two dropped - it was also their second clean sheet in three games. 

Sydney FC have made an excellent start to the season, but their attack was thwarted for the first time this season last week. Bookmaker’s fancy them to bounce back here, but their away record is a concern for us. Our Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney FC prediction is less than 3.5 goals.
