Sydney

Sydney secured a spot in the A-League playoffs from fourth place. In the regular season, the "sky blues" started with three consecutive defeats, spending some time at the bottom of the table, but later leveled their game, found stability, and rightfully claimed their place among the top six teams of the season. In the preliminary playoff round, Sydney faced Macarthur, who finished fifth, and crushed them with a score of 4-0. In their last two matches, Sydney scored an impressive 11 goals, notably delivering a humiliating 7-1 defeat to Perth Glory in the final round of the regular season.

Central Coast Mariners

For the third time in their history, Central Coast became the winner of the A-League regular season. A year ago, they finished second, but this time they edged out Wellington Phoenix by two points. For much of the season, the team from New Zealand's capital held the top spot, but at the very end, Central Coast embarked on a series of 5 consecutive victories, propelling themselves to the top. In the final round of the A-League, Central Coast convincingly defeated Adelaide United 2-0. On May 5th, the Mariners won the AFC Cup for the first time in their history, beating Al-Ahed from Lebanon 1-0 in the final. Alu Kuol scored the winning goal in the 84th minute.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners prediction
