Central Coast Mariners play host to Western United on Saturday looking to earn the victory which will secure a home tie in the early stages of the A-League Finals Series.

We say: Central Coast Mariners 2-1 Western United

The Mariners will likely rotate their squad for this contest, theoretically opening the door for the visitors. Nevertheless, we still expect the hosts to come through with maximum points, securing a position in the top four in the process.

Newcastle Jets square off against Perth Glory on Saturday looking for the win which may move the club off the bottom of the A-League standings.

While Glory's strong end to the campaign has recently weakened, the visitors can still earn seventh spot with a victory and if other results go their way.

We say: Newcastle Jets 1-2 Perth Glory

On the back of their shock win last time out, the Jets will go all out for three points at the weekend. However, we also expect Glory to make improvements, and that could prove enough for the visitors to edge this contest by the odd goal in three.
