Sydney FC are tipped to defeat Central Coast Mariners, having won the last three head-to-head encounters and with the Mariners winless in their opening three A-League matches. Over 1.5 goals is also recommended, as 13 of the last 14 meetings between these sides have produced at least two goals. Sydney’s recent form includes a comeback win over Adelaide and a narrow loss to Melbourne City, while Central Coast have struggled to convert opportunities despite a numerical advantage in their last match. Toure and Lavale are noted as likely attacking threats.

Sydney FC vs Central Coast Mariners Verdict


Sydney FC have won the last three meetings between the teams and can make that four with the Central Coast Mariners winless across their opening three games this season.

A total of 13 of the last 14 encounters in all competitions have seen two or more goals and that is backed again. 

Head To Head

Sydney lead the overall H2H 23-14 alongside 10 draws. The Sky Blues have won the last three meetings by a combined 7-2 score.

Sydney FC Form

Sydney have picked up four points from their opening three A-League games.

Patrick Kisnorbo's side were disappointing in a Round 1 stalemate against the Wanderers, but produced a better performance to come from behind to beat Adelaide 2-1 in their next outing.

However, the Sky Blues couldn't make it back-to-back wins, squandering the initial lead last week against Melbourne City, going down 2-1 on the road.

Central Coast Mariners Form

The Mariners have battled hard to earn their two points this season, but with such a young and inexperienced squad, it's tough to see them coming close to challenging for the finals.

Central Coast drew 2-2 against rivals Newcastle in Round 1 courtesy of two penalties before falling to a 2-0 defeat across the Tasman against surprise leaders Wellington.

John Hutchinson's side failed to make the most of their numerical advantage last week against Melbourne Victory, who were reduced to 10 men after just 11 minutes, ultimately settling for a 1-1 share of the spoils at AAMI Park.
