Player to watch: Alou Kuol

We had no other option but to single out Alou Kuol in our key Macarthur vs Central Coast Mariners prediction. After all, he is the key goalscorer for coach Jackson this season, with two goals scored throughout seven league games.

Second player to watch: Tomislav Uskok

Uskok is a defender but he is still aiding the attack with plenty of goals. Since the start of the season, the centre-back has managed to find the net twice. Surely, he’ll be looking for goal #3 against the Mariners as well.
