Central Coast Mariners will aim to build on their last tied result on their home soil, aiming to secure a win and extend their unbeaten streak to two games, while Sydney FC will aim to snap their previous defeat on the road, but aim to secure a win. So, I expect both teams to perform in front of the net, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. However, even though the home team have not suffered a defeat in any of their last three games on their home soil against the visiting team, I expect the visiting team to step up their games, and secure a win.
