After a slower start to the season, Melbourne City has returned to its winning ways. They continue their four-game winning streak, and are looking to extend it after the Mariners' 2-2 draw against the weak Perth Glory. The hosts kept a clean sheet for three consecutive matches, while still managing to score eleven goals. Also, it is worth noting how dominating Melbourne is against the Mariners at home. They are on a seven-game winning streak here, with the last loss occurring back in 2014. Injuries will not be an issue for either side, with both managers glad to begin with their best eleven.

The hosts will only miss Aiden O'Neill for the upcoming duel. Patrick Kisnorbo's men have been great at home, being undefeated in 2020 and losing just once this season during their poor series of results. The hosts are confident about winning this one, especially after thrashing their city rivals, Melbourne Victory, with a 0-6 away victory. Their last guests, Macarthur, have been dominated 3-0 just six days ago. Also, they managed to defeat last year's champions 3-2 in February. This team's offense has been amazing recently, with all the credits going to the in-form Jamie Maclaren, who has scored ten goals so far, half of what the entire squad managed to score this season.

The guests are without Gianni Stensness and Lewis Miller. They have won three and lost two out of their previous five visits, and yet to draw away from home since 2019. This means they are either going to win or lose, and by the looks of it, I believe they will go home unsatisfied. Central Coast Mariners have done a wonderful job at the very beginning of the season, but are finally starting to show they can bleed. They have recently lost 3-2 to Adelaide United, followed by two victories and a draw. Stajcic's men have already met with Melbourne this season, barely winning 3-2 at home after returning from a two-goal deficit.

I choose to go with Melbourne as the upcoming winner, as I'm confident they will deliver. Good luck!

在本赛季较慢的开局后，墨尔本市又回到了它的胜利之路。他们继续他们的四连胜，并且在水手队2-2战平疲软的珀斯荣耀队后，他们希望能延续连胜。东道主连续三场比赛没有失球，但仍打入了11球。同样值得注意的是，在主场对阵水手队的比赛中，墨尔本是多么的强势。他们在这里取得了7连胜，上一次失利是在2014年。伤病对双方来说都不是问题，两位主教练都很高兴以他们最好的11人开始比赛。

在即将到来的决斗中，主持人只会错过艾登·奥尼尔。帕特里克·基斯诺博的球队在主场表现出色，在2020年的比赛中保持不败，本赛季在他们一系列糟糕的战绩中只输了一次。东道主有信心赢得这场比赛，特别是在客场0-6击败同城对手墨尔本之后。他们最后的客人麦克阿瑟，六天前还被3比0击败。同时，他们在2月份以3-2击败了去年的冠军。这支球队的进攻最近非常出色，所有的功劳都要归功于正处于最佳状态的杰米·麦克拉伦(Jamie Maclaren)，他到目前为止已经进了10个球，是整个球队本赛季进球总数的一半。

吉阿尼·斯坦尼斯和刘易斯·米勒不在。在之前的五场客场比赛中，他们赢了三场，输了两场，而且自2019年以来还没有在主场取得过平局。这意味着他们要么赢，要么输。从目前的情况来看，我相信他们会不满意地回家。中央海岸水手队在赛季刚开始的时候表现得非常出色，但是他们终于开始表现出他们可以流血了。他们最近以3-2输给了阿德莱德联队，之后是两场胜利和一场平局。Stajcic的队员在本赛季已经和墨尔本交手，在主场勉强以3-2取胜。

我选择墨尔本作为即将到来的赢家，因为我有信心他们会做到。好运！
