Western Sydney vs Central Coast Mariners: Top Free Betting Tips

The battle for second place in A-League will be under focus as third-placed Western Sydney Wanderers host Central Coast Mariners. The Wanderers have emerged as the defensive force to break while the Mariners are only second to Melbourne City in the scoring charts.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

It is difficult to choose between Western Sydney Wanderers and Central Coast Mariners. The former manages to keep rivals at bay, while the latter finds a way past them with their attacking ingenuity. The Mariners on the other hand have drawn three of their last five outings. Two of the last three duels at CommBank Stadium have finished in stalemates and we expect that a similar outcome is expected from this meeting.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

The Wanderers earned a 4-0 victory over Macarthur in their last league outing, they showcased their attacking instincts, proving that they are more than a defensive juggernaut. They will come under pressure from the Mariners, who have scored 9 goals in their last five outings, hitting the back of the net in their last nine A-League outings. With both sides scoring regularly, we expect blows to land and both sets of goalkeepers disappointedly picking the ball from their own nets.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw

Two of Mariner's last five fixtures have read 2-2 at full-time. Interestingly, the same scoreline has been repeated in three of their last five duels with Western Sydney Wanderers. We expect more of the same in this meeting as both sides look to edge each other out in the A-League rankings.

Western Sydney Wanderers Preview

The Sydney natives started the 2023 calendar year on a high note with a 4-0 victory over Macarthur but have since found the going tough. They have only added two wins to their ranks since then, taking eight matches to reach this level. Their scoring output needs to increase and the pressure will be on Brandon Borrello and co. to deliver as the race for second place heats up.

Central Coast Mariners Preview

The Mariners continue to pile on results while everyone else around them struggles to get them. They have also denied their rivals glory, digging deep to claim something for themselves. Draws against Wellington Phoenix and Perth Glory exemplify their resolve. They will be out in the trenches against the Wanderers with the second place on the line and will take heart from the fact that they returned home 0-3 victors on their last trip to the CommBank Stadium.
