Central Coast Mariners will be aiming to return to winning ways when they welcome Sydney FC to the Central Coast Stadium on Saturday.
The visitors head into this tie unbeaten in their last four outings after claiming a 2-2 draw with Adelaide United last Sunday and will look to keep that fine run going.
We say: Central Coast Mariners 1-2 Sydney FC
Central Coast Mariners have struggled at home against Sydney in their recent encounters, and we predict that run continues on Saturday.
The visitors come into the tie with a more experienced squad and should be able to claim the win and keep their title hopes alive.

A-League leaders Melbourne City will be looking to back up their seven-goal hammering of Melbourne Victory in the derby last time out when they face Macarthur at the Campbelltown Stadium on Saturday.
Melbourne City cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win back in December's reverse fixture, but victory for Macarthur this weekend would see them close the gap on the league leaders to just one point.
We say: Macarthur 1-3 Melbourne City
Macarthur have been decent on home turf this season, picking up three wins and three draws from nine games. However, considering the fact that the visitors are scoring freely at the moment, we are backing them to outscore the hosts and claim all three points in this one.
