Auckland Central Coast Mariners betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 10^th position of the league, with 21 points won, after 4 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Western United, by (1‑3). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Melbourne Victory, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 27 conceded; against 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 33 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Central Coast has a record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 20 matches for the A‑League, they have reached half‑time in front in 3 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 3. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

The Central Coast Mariners are in the midst of a dreadful run, suffering five consecutive defeats. In total, they have now gone nine matches without a single victory. The Mariners have accumulated just 21 points, two more than Wellington Phoenix, but still hold a 10-point cushion over Perth Glory. So far, they have benefited from Perth Glory’s inability to capitalise on their struggles. Now, in this 23rd round, the Mariners face yet another challenging fixture, as they take on the league leaders away from home. Given the difficult period they are going through, any point gained would be crucial in boosting the team’s morale.
