Match Result Prediction: Melbourne Victory to Win
Melbourne Victory has struggled in recent attempts but the home advantage adds favour for them. The Dark Blues have won two of the last four hosting duels, losing only one. In opposition, Central Coast Mariners have lost three of the last five away outings while winning just once. In the H2Hs, Boys in Blues have also defeated the Coasties in three of the previous five home meetings. Hence, we back the hosts to take three points at the end of this game.
Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes
Four of the last five meetings of these teams at the home of Melbourne Victory have ended with both teams scoring at the same time. Melbourne Victory has been consistent on the scoring end previously as they have rattled the net in all of the last five home attempts. In opposition, Central Coast Mariners have also hit the target in four of the previous five league games. Both teams have also conceded goals in all of the latest outings in the competition. Hence, we set the BTTS pattern as the second pick for this duel.
Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Melbourne Victory
Melbourne Victory has scored more than once in two of the last four hosting attempts against Melbourne City and Wellington Phoenix. The hosts also had the same pattern in three of the recent five home meetings against the Mariners, allowing at least twice in only one of them. Central Coast Mariners have also conceded a total of ten goals in the previous five away outings. In opposition, Big V conceded only four goals in the last three games. Given this, the hosts are expected to record a 2-1 lead at the end of ninety minutes in this game.
