Western United vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction & Betting Tips - A-League
by Devesh Jaganath in A-League Predictions
Western United and Central Coast Mariners will face off at Ironbark Fields in the A-League on Wednesday morning. WES are fifth in the league standings while the Mariners are 10th. Let’s get into the match prediction!
After ending last season second-bottom in the league table, Western United have been much better this term, now on 24 points after 14 games, level with third-placed Macartur.
WES enter this match off the back of a 3-1 victory over the Newcastle Jets, marking their sixth win in the last seven games, with the exception being a 2-0 loss to Melbourne City earlier this month.
The hosts have taken just eight points from a possible 18 at home this season, but they are on an upward trajectory, unbeaten in their last three, including wins in the last two.
Meanwhile, Central Coast Mariners have experienced a major drop off this season, falling from title winners last term to 10th after 14 games in this campaign.
The Mariners were held to a goalless draw by Wellington Phoenix in their last match and have now split their last six games two wins, two draws and two defeats.
However, the defending champs have fared quite well on the road to date, taking 12 points from a possible 21, though they have only conceded one defeat (W3 D3 L1).
