- Macarthur is in the best form (4-1-1) in A-League
Macarthur could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a A-League game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Wellington Phoenix. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Central Coast Mariners form and stats
Central Coast Mariners have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the A-League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

Macarthur form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the A-League away games so far for Macarthur with six points collected from three matches.
Macarthur lost away at Wellington Phoenix (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Midfield player Silva was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.52/10. Silva served one assist, hit nine key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 53 successful passes (of 60 total).
Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Western United.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Macarthur playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Macarthur wins, zero draws and three defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Macarthur manager Milicic as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Brisbane Roar.
Macarthur have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league.
