Macarthur FC vs. Central Coast Mariners Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Macarthur FC and Central Coast Mariners, taking place on Wednesday, 04 March 2026, at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in Leumeah.
Macarthur FC, Recent Form
Macarthur FC manager Mile Sterjorvski will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 home defeat by Western Sydney Wanderers. Their share of possession in that meeting was 61%, while racking up 19 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Western Sydney Wanderers, who had 6 shots on goal with 5 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 10, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 10 home games this season.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Central Coast Mariners, Recent Form
Central Coast Mariners will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Newcastle United Jets with a 0-0 draw and a valuable point. In that game they recorded 44 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Warren Moon will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Miguel Di Pizio will be looking to cause Macarthur FC some problems having scored 2 goals in Central Coast Mariners' last 6 away games in the league.
Macarthur FC vs. Central Coast Mariners Head to head
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Mariners will be confident of finding the net in this one against Macarthur, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 10 encounters between the two sides. Goals come easy for CC Mariners when they travel to The Bulls, having recorded 6 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2 goals per match.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but Macarthur hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
