Central Coast Mariners will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce when they journey to the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium to face Melbourne City on Tuesday.
City head into the midweek clash on a run of four consecutive victories over Nick Montgomery's men and will be looking to continue in the same vein.
We say: Melbourne City 2-2 Central Coast Mariners
Melbourne City and Central Coast Mariners have enjoyed a solid campaign so far and find themselves in the upper echelons of the table. While Montgomery's men will be looking to maintain their fine run, the City have been near impenetrable on home turf this season. We predict both sides will cancel out each other's efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.

We say: Adelaide United 2-0 Newcastle Jets
Adelaide will be looking to quickly bounce back following their disappointing performance at Wellington Phoenix last time out. They have enjoyed a fine run of results on home turf this season and we are backing them to extend their dominance over the Jets on Tuesday.
