The AI pre-game prediction favored a Central Coast Mariners win, which ultimately proved incorrect. The AI model did not anticipate a balanced game, however, the statistics show that the result was balanced, though Macarthur had greater ball possession. The predicted win probability for Central Coast Mariners was 48.1% compared to Macarthur FC's 26.3%, with a 25.6% chance of a draw.
Central Coast Mariners have been in poor form recently, losing three of their last five matches prior to this draw, including a heavy 6-0 defeat to Newcastle Jets. Their next match is against Brisbane Roar. Macarthur FC's form has been more inconsistent, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their previous five games. Macarthur FC's next game is against Melbourne Victory.
Looking at the Mariners' recent games, their defense has been leaky, conceding a lot of goals, whilst their attack has also struggled to find the net consistently. Macarthur's games, on the other hand, have been high-scoring affairs, both for and against them. In previous head-to-head games, the two teams drew 1-1 in December 2024. The Mariners won 3-0 in March 2024 and Macarthur won 2-1 in October 2023. The game ultimately reflected the unpredictable nature of football.
