2-2 Draw
Believe it or not, the 2-2 draw is the most common outcome of this rivalry in the last 10 games and we have faith that the game on Saturday will end this way as well. Our top Western Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners predictions this week for a 2-2 draw is based on the head-to-head history between the two teams. It states that 30% of the last 10 matches between the two clubs have ended with a 2-2 draw, one ended in 1-1, and two games ended with 2-1 victories which may not be in correspondence with our Western Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners prediction this week, but the results were very close and we shouldn’t ignore that fact.
Jason Cummings to Score Anytime
Leading A-League goalscorer Jamie Maclaren has been crushing it with Melbourne City as he has 18 goals to his name but Jason Cummings is certainly stepping up his game recently. He managed to score a bunch of decisive goals for Central Coast Mariners which boosted his tally to 12. Scoring six more and catching up to Jamie Maclaren might be a bit of a stretch but he has a serious chance of placing his name on the scoreboard on Saturday.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Western Sydney
Western Sydney’s 4-0 victory over Macarthur a couple of days ago shouldn’t fool you. Coach Mark Rudan’s boys owe much of their success to Craig Noone. Macarthur’s winger received a foolish red card suspension in the 6th minute of the game and it certainly paved the way to a Western Sydney win on the 25th of February.
Predicted lineup – Thomas (GK), Cleur, Mrcela, Marcelo, Beadling, Layouni, Nieuwenhof, Schneiderlin, Amalfitano, Borrello & Ninkovic
Central Coast Mariners
After 18 A-League matches played this season, Central Coast Mariners are currently in 2nd place and have the sturdiest chance to catch up to Melbourne City. They earned eight victories, lost six matches, and four games ended in a draw. With two consecutive draws in the league, Central Coast Mariners’ inability to win or lose was a key reason behind our Western Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners predictions this week.
Predicted lineup – Vukovic (GK), Roux, Hall, Farrell, McGarry, N’Kololo, Balard, Nisbet, Silvera, Cummings & M. T

Player to Watch: James McGarry
Central Coast Mariners’ James McGarry is the player to watch on the 4th of March. He was the difference maker for coach Nick Montgomery on the 24th of February as his lovely 12th-minute goal was close to being enough for the team to win the three points over Wellington Phoenix. If only Oscar Zawada didn’t equalize at the last minute of the game. Anyhow, with James McGarry on the pitch, we’re convinced that our top Western Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners predictions will be successful.
