Central Coast Mariners - Western United: betting tip for the Australian Championship match
As part of the 21st round of the Australian A-League, a duel between the Central Coast Mariners and Western United will take place. The hosts are only disappointing this season. The current champion occupies only the tenth place in the standings. But the guests are pleasantly surprised and are in the third position in the rating. Which of the competitors will be able to score tournament points on February 28? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Central Coast Mariners
AustraliaCurrent form
The Central Coast Mariners suffered perhaps the most painful fall since the previous season. Then the team managed to win the championship title, becoming the country's representative in the Champions League. Currently, the hosts are only in tenth position and are already seven points behind the playoff zone. Sometimes the Gosford club makes successful stretches, but then starts losing tournament points again. Recently, the team had a series of four consecutive draws in the championship. After that, Mark Jackson's team suffered two consecutive defeats in the Champions League, losing to Johor (1:2) and Kawasaki (0:2), and then lost heavily in the A-League, failing to impose competition on the not-so-formidable Western Sydney Wanderers (0:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
Nicolas Duarte, Ryan Edmondson, and Brad Tapp will miss the match due to injuries. Trent Sainsbury won't play because of too many yellows. Angel Torres is serving his suspension.
Interesting betting trends
- The team suffered three defeats in a row
- The club has not won seven matches in a row.
The approximate line-up: Cullen - Roux, Sainsbury, Kaltak, Kuzevski - Eames, Theoharus, Steele - Mikael Doka - Kuol, Brandtman.
Western United FC
AustraliaCurrent form
Western United has made strong progress compared to last season. Then the club took the penultimate place in the league, ahead only of Perth Glory. In this championship draw, the team is more confident and is in the playoff zone. At the moment, the visitors occupy the third position in the league, but are only one point ahead of the sixth Melbourne City. John Aloisi's team played the last two matches on their own field - first, the team from Melbourne was defeated by the championship leader, Auckland (0:2), but after that they won a landslide victory over Adelaide United (3:0) from second place.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of James Donaghy on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last four matches.
- The guests have not beaten today's opponent since 2021
Approximate composition: Sutton - Chamoun, Leonard, Imai, Russell - Grimaldi, Bozinowski, Tergate, Danzaki- Laval, Ibusuki

3.65Tip and bets
The hosts obviously won't be able to take advantage of this season, even getting to the playoff zone with such a gap will be very problematic. The Central Coast Mariners have not won for more than a month and it is unlikely that they will be able to break this series in a duel with Western United, which is currently on the rise. Even on the road, United will surely be able to beat the reigning champions.
Our prediction is a 1.95 Western United win.
Bet on the total
The guests always play attacking football, even when the defensive game suffers because of it. Quite often, this style of play brings results, so it is unlikely that the team will abandon this approach now. We believe that the favorite will be able to impose his own rules of the game on the opponent, so we should expect a large number of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.65
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 betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 1.90
