Auckland FC vs Central Coast Mariners Tips & Prediction
Auckland FC will be hoping results go their way on Friday night before taking on the Central Coast Mariners at Go Media Stadium on Sunday in the A-League.
Auckland could potentially move level with the Newcastle Jets at the top of the ladder heading into the final round of the season if they can beat the Mariners - but they also need Melbourne Victory to topple the Jets on Friday.
Regardless, Auckland will be determined to start generating some winning momentum and better form heading into the finals after going three games without a win. Central Coast meanwhile have all but seen their finals hopes dashed on the back of a five-game winless run. The Mariners would need to win both of their remaining games and hope Melbourne City lose both of theirs, along with favourable results from Wellington and Macarthur above them.
The Black Knights should be able to get the job done in an important home game. Both teams to score represents decent value, while Auckland striker Sam Cosgrove has been on target in both appearances against the Mariners this season.

Auckland FC vs CC Mariners Head To Head
This will be the third meeting between the teams this season. Auckland prevailed 2-1 in Gosford back in Round 9, while an Oli Lavale double saw the Mariners earn a point at Go Media in Round 14.
Auckland FC Form Analysis
Auckland come into this contest with an 11-8-5 record on the season and in second spot on the ladder.
Steve Corica's side looked to be in a strong position to secure back-to-back minor premierships after toppling leaders Newcastle 2-1 last month.
However, the Black Knights have gone on a three-game winless run since that outing, meaning they trail the Jets by three points heading into the penultimate round.
Auckland came from behind twice to secure a 2-2 draw against Melbourne Victory last week, with Sam Cosgrove and Lachlan Brook getting on the scoresheet.

Central Coast Mariners Form Analysis
The Mariners head into this clash with a 7-8-9 record on the season and down in ninth position on the ladder.
Central Coast were putting together an unlikely finals charge, but they've stumbled over the last month and failed to win their last five games.
That string of results have left the Mariners six points adrift of Melbourne City in the last finals spot, so they basically need a miracle to feature in the postseason.
Warren Moon's side missed a chance to propel themselves in a more favourable position after drawing 2-2 with Brisbane Roar last week, conceding a late equaliser.
