Command Analysis
Central Coast Mariners
AustraliaCurrent form
The new season has not started so well for the current champions. In the A-League, Central Coast Mariners drew with Melbourne Victory (0:0), Adelaide United (1:1) and Port Glory (0:0).
The results in the Champions League are also very dismal. Three games have been played, and all of them have been defeated: by Shandong Taishan (1:3) and Shanghai Port (2:3), as well as by the Thai champion Buriram United (1:2). The players can’t get into the groove and break the winless streak, which now consists of nine games in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will be without Trent Sainsbury and Miguel de Pizio due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not won in regulation time for eight matches in a row
- The hosts have suffered only one defeat in their last 12 home matches.
Estimated line-up : Cullen - Roux, Tarr, Kaltak, Mauraguis - Mikael Doka, McCalmont, Steele, Brandtman - Kuol, Edmondson.
Shanghai Shenhua
ChinaCurrent form
Shanghai Shenhua, led by Russian coach Leonid Slutsky, let the championship slip from their grasp, drawing with one of the leaders in the penultimate round of the Chinese championship. The domestic championship ended, and the team took second place.
The visitors have been playing well in the Champions League this year. Three rounds have been played, and they managed to win twice over Pohang Steelers (4:1) and Kawasaki (2:0), but they were unable to cope with Johor, losing with a large score of 0:3.

1.80Tip and bets
Central Coast Mariners are in terrible form, which is not the case with Shanghai Shenhua. We believe that the Australians' losing streak to Chinese teams will not be interrupted, and even with local fans they will suffer another fiasco. It is unlikely that they will be able to break their losing streak against such a powerful opponent as the team from the Middle Kingdom.
Our prediction is a victory for Shanghai Shenhua with odds of 2.35
Bet on the outcome
Shanghai Shenhua is not ideal in defense, especially when playing away. Most likely, the upcoming match will not be an exception, and the Chinese team will not be able to keep their goal intact, but they themselves will most likely score more than once.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.85
Bet on corners
The match should not be boring in terms of scoring chances, and we believe that many of them will be created from corner flag passes. We will make another bet on the over total for them.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.77
