Auckland FC vs Central Coast Mariners prediction

Despite sitting at the top of the table, Auckland FC’s results have been inconsistent of late and they are coming off the back of a 2-1 defeat away to Melbourne City. But this is a fixture where you would expect them dominate when taking into account the struggles of Central Coast Mariners all season. The visitors have won just three of their 13 league games and only goal difference is keeping them off the bottom of the table.

Auckland FC are a significantly stronger team than their opponents when you take into account their squad and depth available from the bench, which should have a significant impact against a team such as the Mariners the longer this game goes on. Backing the home side to pick up three points has to be favoured.
