Central Coast Mariners
AustraliaCurrent form
The Central Coast Mariners became the champion of the Australian A-League last season, beating today's opponent in the final in extra time. The guests probably won't be able to defend the championship. In the current championship draw, the guests are performing just terribly and occupy only the tenth place. The champion is already nine points behind the playoff zone, it will be extremely difficult to play such a distance for the remaining seven rounds, besides, the Central Coast Mariners have not scored points at all in recent matches. After defeats in the Champions League from Johor (1:2) and Kawasaki (0:2), Mark Jackson's team lost to Western Sydney Wanderers (0:4) and Western United (1:3) in the Australian championship.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Edmondson and Brad Tapp will not play for the visitors due to injuries. Angel Torres and Alfie McCalmont are serving their suspensions.
Interesting betting trends
- The team suffered four defeats in a row
- The visitors have scored only one goal in the last three matches.
Provisional squad: Cullen - Mauragis, Paul, Kaltak, Kuzevski - Mikael Doka, Steele, Ames, Theoharus - Kuol, di Pizio

2.32Tip and bets
The hosts continue to participate in the race for a place in the playoffs, so the team needs a victory over the Central Coast Mariners to break away from the competition. Melbourne Victory has been much more successful in recent matches than today's opponent, and the players probably want to avenge their defeat in last season's final. We believe that the team from Melbourne will win.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Melbourne Victory in 1.80
Bet on the total
The hosts prefer to act pragmatically, so their fights don't often turn out to be effective. The team has won the last four victories with a dry score, while never defeating opponents. We think that even now the favorite will play in this style, so we shouldn't expect a lot of goals scored.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.60
Betting on corners
Most likely, the opponents will play defensively, which means that a lot of serves from the corner flag are not expected. We suggest betting on a total of less in this indicator.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 10.5 corners in 1.90
