Brisbane Roar to Win

The Roar's seven-match unbeaten run came to an end on the road to Melbourne City. Warren Moon's men are back in the comfort of the Dolphin Oval as they look to enter the A-League play-off qualification slots. They will have to overcome the challenge of Central Coast Mariners to secure their slot. While the Roar are unbeaten in five home fixtures, the Mariners have lost two and drawn two of their last four outings. Their last win on the road coming at the start of March. Expect the hosts to take the points.

Total Goals: Over 2.5

In this potential six-point fixture for the play-offs, Roar have the opportunity to leapfrog their rivals in the points table. They will be confident of their abilities after scoring four goals in their last two outings but have conceded a similar amount. This will inspire confidence in the Mariners attacking unit. Prior to their 1-1 draw with Melbourne Victory, the Central Coast-based entity have seen a similar return in their two A-League fixtures.

Both Teams to Score: Yes

Given the importance of the fixture, both sides will have their pedal to the metal in search of the three points on offer. The Mariners have only failed to score twice in their last 8 away trips, scoring two goals in five of these outings. While the Roar have been profligate at home, they managed to secure bragging rights against Western United in a second-half comeback. Moon's men have finally found their scoring boots and given the Mariners defensive issues, expect goals on either side of the pitch.

Brisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners: Team News and Match Preview

Brisbane Roar

The Roar are the form team in A-League in recent history, picking up 16 points from the available 30, bettered only by league leaders Melbourne City. They are on the cusp of making it to the A-League play-off qualification slots and can leapfrog the Mariners in fourth place. Dylan Wenzel-Halls barren form has put pressure on his teammates, with young Riku Danzaki answering Moon's rallying call. The 20-year-old has seven goals from 19 outings, proving to be the Roar's breakout player this season.

Central Coast Mariners

After an impressive start to the season, Alen Stajcic's Mariners have struggled to make an impact in their league outings. They are winless in five fixtures, resulting in their slide on the points table. This has allowed Sydney FC and Adelaide United to leapfrog them, something the Roar will manage if they win at the Dolphin Oval. The Mariners defence has let them down, while their offence continues to score goals at will. Matt Simon is leading the goalscoring charts for the visitors and has hit the back of the net thrice in his last five outings.
