Central Coast Mariners come into the game in poor form, having lost four out of their last five games. A win here would provide some relief for manager Alen Stajcic.

Western Sydney Wanderers play their first match post-restart, so there might be some rustiness. Much will be expected from the forward line of Kwame Yeboah, Mitchell Duke and Simon Cox.

Prediction: Central Coast Mariners 0:2 Western Sydney Wanderers
