Match Stats

Central Coast Mariners had an outstanding 2023-24 season, winning the Premiers' Plate and the Championship title. However, their 2024-25 campaign has been underwhelming, with only two wins from nine matches, alongside four draws and three losses. Currently in eighth place with 10 points, they are 12 points off the top but only four behind the final playoff spot. The Mariners will be looking to bounce back against Melbourne City, a team they have beaten in their last two home meetings, both 2-1.

Mark Jackson’s side has struggled defensively at home, conceding an average of two goals per game. After a humbling 4-1 loss to Auckland FC, Jackson has called for improved preparation and attitude from his players.

Melbourne City, the 2022-23 A-League Premiers, have had a disappointing 2023-24 season but are still in contention for the Championship with 14 points from eight matches, sitting in the final playoff spot. City are unbeaten in their last three games, including a 1-1 draw against Melbourne Victory, and have been strong away from home, earning 13 points on the road – the most in the league.
