Central Coast Mariners vs Macarthur Prediction
Central Coast Mariners have home advantage in their favor and are also slight favorites on paper. However, they have been out-of-sorts throughout the season.
Macarthur, by contrast, have been relatively more consistent and will fancy their chances of leaving Gosford with all three points. Games involving the hosts tend to be low-scoring affairs and we are backing the visitors to secure a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Central Coast Mariners 0-2 Macarthur
