Central Coast Mariners vs WS Wanderers tips and predictions

Decent tussle in A-League

With only 2 points separating them it's second placed Central Coast Mariners versus third placed WS Wanderersin this clash.

The jury's still out on this one but it should be a good game.

The hosts start the match having won all of their last 4 home appearances.

This home team is making the most of a recent purple patch and they have looked energised. Central Coast Mariners have scored two or more goals in 14 of their recent 20 matches.

In front of goal, the visitors have been underwhelming. They've scored one or less goals in 16 of their last 18 matches. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, be aware that this is not a strong prediction.

The last time these two sides met was in November when Central Coast Mariners won with an entertaining 3-0 scoreline. That results means that Central Coast Mariners have won 2 of the last 3 fixtures between these sides. It might not be significant but the head-to-head stats show how well they have done before.

If they don't go the whole nine and get the win, don't rule out the draw. The sportsbooks are expecting goals at both ends of the park as they could be well matched. It's not a strong view but the odds-against for the BTTS No looks a bit more tempting for this encounter.
