Unbeaten in their last three games and winning two, Macarthur remain in finals contention with three games to go in the regular season, entering this contest just two points outside the top six. If Macarthur can win this game and both Sydney and Adelaide lose earlier on the weekend, then the Bulls would finish Round 27 inside the top six. Central Coast meanwhile were officially eliminated from finals contention following their heavy 6-0 loss to the Jets, with the back-to-back premiers playing for pride for the remainder of the campaign.
Over 2.5 goals is the best bet for this encounter - Macarthur have seen a whopping 21 goals in their last three games and Over 2.5 in six of their last eight, while the Mariners have gone over in six of their last seven outings. I'll also back Macarthur in a must-win game against a Mariners side that have nothing to play for.
- Over 2.5 goals has landed in six of the Mariners' last seven games
- Over 2.5 goals has landed in six of Macarthur's last eight games
- Macarthur have seen 21 goals across their last three games
- Mariners have won just five of their 24 games this season
- Macarthur have won two of their last three games
Head To Head
These two teams have met just once this season, with a 1-1 draw playing out back in Round 9 at Campbelltown.
Central Coast Mariners Form
It's been a disappointing season for the Mariners, who won't have the chance to play for a third Grand Final triumph on the bounce.
Central Coast have managed just five wins from their 24 games this season and are languishing down in 10th spot on the ladder.
The Mariners' season hit a new low last week after they conceded six goals in a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Newcastle.
Central Coast Mariners Team News
Storm Roux is suspended for the remainder of the season after being sent off against the Jets.
Macarthur FC Form
It's been a roller-coaster season for Macarthur, who began the campaign as Australia Cup champions, suffered a mid-season slump as various key attackers departed and are now back in finals contention following a three-game unbeaten run.
The goals have been flowing for Macarthur - they've beaten Adelaide 5-4 and Brisbane 5-1 in that period, along with coming back from 3-1 down to earn a 3-3 draw against the Jets.
Currently two points outside of the top six, a win here for Macarthur would position them strongly heading into the final two games of the season.
Macarthur FC Team News
No new injury concerns for Macarthur ahead of this clash.

The goals have been flowing in both of these teams' respective matches lately, so Over 2.5 is expected here.
