CCM vs MAC Dream11: Third-placed Central Coast Mariners have been unable to make a serious push towards the top two spots due their inconsistency in recent games. The hosts have won three, but also lost two of their most recent five matches. However, having beaten Western United last Saturday they have a good opportunity to back that up with another home fixture against Macarthur, who lost 0-3 last time out to Wellington Phoenix. With confidence likely low within the visiting team’s camp, the Mariners may be set to take advantage with home advantage in their favour once again.
Date: 12 June, Saturday Time: 2:35 PM (IST) Venue: Central Coast Stadium, Gosford
