Central Coast Mariners — Western Sydney Wanderers: forecast for the Australian Championship match
The Central Coast Mariners and Western Sydney Wanderers will play in the 20th round of the Australian A-League. Both teams remain outside the playoff zone for the time being, but the guests have come close to the top 6 and are lagging behind only in additional indicators. The hosts are still completing the top ten. Which of the competitors will score important tournament points on February 22? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Central Coast Mariners
AustraliaCurrent form
The Central Coast Mariners won the championship last season, beating Melbourne Victory in the final in extra time. Now you can't even dream of such successes, since the team is not even in the playoff zone and is only on the tenth line in the standings. We are only four points behind the top 6, so there is still a chance to compete. The good news is that after the new year, the club suffered only one defeat. The team from Gosford lost to Sydney FC with a score of 1:4. The team also recently suffered another setback in the Asian Champions League, losing to Johor (1:2) and Kawasaki (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicolas Duarte and Brad Tapp will not play due to injuries. Angel Torres was disqualified. Trent Sainsbury's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The last four matches of the hosts in the Australian championship ended in a draw.
- The team hasn't won six matches in a row.
The approximate line-up: Cullen - Roux, Sainsbury, Kaltak, Kuzevski - Eames, Theoharus, Steele - Mikael Doka - Kuol, Brandtman.
Western Sydney Wanderers FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Western Sydney Wanderers continues to fight for a place in the playoffs and has made some progress recently. The team occupies the eighth position and only lags behind the sixth place in additional points. The team has played its last matches with varying success. On the road, they managed to beat the two main outsiders of the A-League, Perth Glory (2:1) and Brisbane Roar (1:0), but failed to score points on their own field in the confrontations with Central Coast Mariners (1:3) and Auckland (0:1). So far, Alain Stajcic's team is performing much more successfully on the road than at their stadium. Recently, we managed to win a strong-willed home victory over MacArthur (2:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Jeong Tae-wook and Dylan Scicluna will miss the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has not lost three matches in a row
- The guests lost the last three face-to-face matches
Approximate composition: Thomas - Clisby, Jeong, Bontig, Pantazopoulos - Milanovic, Priestmann, Mata, Kraev - Sapsford, Borello

2.07Tip and bets
The teams remain on the outskirts of the playoff zone and continue to compete for a place in the top six. The guests have already managed to catch up with Sydney FC in sixth place and can move up to fourth place if they win. However, the hosts will not allow the opponent to reach the goal so easily. The Central Coast Mariners are also not that far behind and will do everything to slow down the enemy's march. Recently, the clubs have gained momentum, so it's quite difficult to single out a favorite. We believe that the confrontation may end in a draw.
Our forecast is a draw for 3.65
Bet on the total
Recently, the rivals have not had any particular problems with performance. We think that in a face-to-face match, the teams will choose an attacking style of play, because they need to win in order to move up the standings. Most likely, there will be no shortage of goals scored here.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.62
Betting on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please the fans with an abundance of riding totals, including the number of serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 1.94
