In the A-League, Brisbane Roar will play Central Coast Mariners, who are third, on Friday at Dolphin Stadium. The Brisbane Roar have lost their last five league games and lost to Adelaide United 2-1 on the road in their previous game. They remained in 10th place in the league table following that defeat, just two points behind Melbourne Victory, who is in last place.
The Central Coast Mariners suffered a 3-2 home defeat to Sydney FC last week, extending their winless streak to three games. The match took a new turn when one player from each team was sent off in the first half. The top six spots for the final series playoffs are still up for grabs as the league campaign enters its second half. In order to improve their chances of reaching the top six in the league standings, both teams will be looking to win this match again.

Brisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction :
The hosts have had a bad run in the league, winning just one of their 2023 league games. They may struggle here because they have not scored in three of their last four league games. In five of their last six league games, the Mariners have scored at least two goals, and they are expected to do so in this one as well. We anticipate a draw between the two teams given their current form.
Prediction: Brisbane Roar 1-1 Central Coast Mariners.

Brisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners Team news :
Robbie Kruse, 34, was not considered a match-fit for Brisbane Roar last weekend, but it is thought that he should be ready to play this week in some capacity. Stefan Scepovic was brought in during the week, and he may be included in the squad on Friday. The club has also added more experience. Due to his attacking performances this season, Cummings will be guaranteed a spot in the visitors’ starting lineup.
At the other end of the field, the Central Coast Mariners might try to give James McGarry, a new signing who will be with the team until the end of the season, a start in the game. Given that defender, Brian Kaltack was sent to the stands last weekend and will be suspended on Friday, that signing may have come at the right time.
