The visitors are the only winless team in the league
The visitors conceded 29 goals in 11 matches
Wellington Phoenix are the real deal! The New Zealand side were outsiders in A-League before the season and they didn’t start well, but after couple of weeks they started playing really good football. On Tuesday they beat Western Sydney Wanderers in five goal thriller, and once again their hero was Roy Krishna. The Fijian attacker scored seven goals so far in the season and is one of the main reasons why Wellington are so successful.
The Newzealanders are undefeated in their last seven games, they climbed to playoff spots and with a win against Central Coast they could move into the top four.
Central Coast Mariners scored the first goal in Sydney, but after their defender Cisse picked up his second yellow card things went down. Central Coast somehow survived the first half, but eventually were defeated 5-2.
Loss to Sydney was ninth of the season for Central Coast and after eleven games they’re the only winless team in the league. Central Coast have by far the worst defense in the league, and by far the worst attack. It seems that nothing works in this team and we can hardly see them moving from the last spot.
Wellington Phoenix FC and Central Coast Mariners FC Betting Odds and Predictions
Central Coast suffered six consecutive defeats and it’s pretty much understandable why Wellington Phoenix are favorites in this match. We’re confident that Wellington will win, but also we think this will be convincing win, probably by 2-3 goals margin. As we already said, Central Coast defense is by far the worst in league, and the visitors conceded 29 goals in just 11 games (nine in last two matches). The hosts are flying and we’ll pick Wellington Phoenix -1 for this one.
