Third-placed Central Coast Mariners will face a tough test when they face A-League table-toppers Melbourne City on Saturday. Both sides will head into the encounter in a positive mood after winning their last two respective games. Since losing 2-0 to Melbourne Victory on March 19, Central Coast Mariners have returned to winning ways in impressive fashion. After thrashing Brisbane Roar 4-1 at the start of the month, the Mariners claimed another comfortable victory in their away meeting with Western United last weekend.
Jason Cummings, Beni Nkololo and Dylan Wenzel-Halls all put their name on the scoresheet to guide their side to a commanding 3-0 win, which ended a three-game winless away run. With three games left to play in the regular season, Nick Montgomery’s side are four points adrift of second-placed Adelaide United, and as a result, they still have an outside chance of securing a top-two finish, which would guarantee them a place in the semi-finals of the playoffs.
Home advantage in Monday’s encounter could be a decisive factor for the Mariners, who are unbeaten in their last eight home games (W6, L2). Melbourne City, meanwhile, have avoided defeat in five consecutive games (W3, L2) after they hammered Wellington Phoenix 4-1 last weekend thanks to braces from Jamie MacLaren and Marco Tulio. The result represented their ninth home win of the 2022-23 campaign and ensured that City remain the only team in the A-League who are yet to lose a home game this season.
