Wellington Phoenix vs Central Coast Mariners: Top Free Betting Tips

After playing consecutive three away games, Central Coast Mariners get back home to play the next A-League fixture against Wellington Phoenix on Friday, 24 February. Mariners dropped two points in the last game against Perth Glory while the Nix earned three points against Western United.

Match Result Prediction: Central Coast Mariners to Win

Central Coast Mariners have struggled with consistency in their recent performances with just one win in their last five games. However, their home record tells a different story, as they have won four out of their last five games at their own ground, with the remaining game ending in a draw. The Wellington Phoenix have recorded two wins, two losses, and a draw in their previous five fixtures. While both teams have won two of the last five head-to-head matches, the Mariners seem to have an edge in their current form and are likely to come out on top in this game. 

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

All of the recent five meetings between these sides have ended with over 2.5 goals and we believe to see the same at the end of this duel. Central Coast Mariners have recorded a decent flow of goals at home and thrashed 13 goals in the last five hosting duels. The Nix has also rattled the net nine times in the previous five outings in the league. The poor defence of the visitors gives us another reason for a high total in this game that allowed the right goals in the last five games.  

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Central Coast Mariners

Wellington Phoenix has secured a scoring string in the recent away outings but the team has scored only one goal per game in five of the last six visits. Nevertheless, Central Coast Mariners have succeeded to score twice in each of the recent four attempts. The Coasties have also rattled the net more than once in all of the last five hosting attempts in the top division. The hosts have scored multiple goals in three of the recent four H2Hs against the Nix and we see them able to get a 2-1 lead in this game.
