Central Coast Mariners vs Auckland FC match Prediction 12 December 2025

Looking at their previous matchups before the match, Central Coast Mariners and Auckland FC were recorded in finding the net, while also conceding. Therefore, in this match I expect both teams to demonstrate in front of the net and find the net, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded, since the home team will aim to secure a win and snap their winless streak of three games, while the visiting team will aim to secure a win and extend their previous win to two games. However, given that the visiting team player (Guilermo May have scored in their last two games against the home team), and given that he will aim to build on his last scoring chance, I expect him to find the net anytime here.
