Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners Predictions

• Central Coast Mariners have lost 11 of 12 away games
• The visitors have conceded 2.3 goals per trip
• Melbourne Victory have won five of the last six home meetings between these two

These two sides sit at the foot of the A-League table, with second-bottom Melbourne Victory hosting last-placed Central Coast Mariners. Both sides have endured dreadful seasons, but we think that the hosts will edge this one in our predictions.

So far, Central Coast Mariners have lost 11 of the 12 away trips they’ve made in the A-League. They’ve conceded 28 times in those 12 away games, scoring just 10 in return. Meanwhile, their record of late has been dreadful, picking up just two points from a possible 24 across their last eight games.

Meanwhile, the hosts have had their own troubles, but they have produced three home victories this season. They’ve also won five of their last six at home to the Mariners, which points to a victory for them on Monday. Having racked up 17 goals in those six home games, we’re backing Victory for another success, while our correct score prediction is a 2-1 win for the hosts.
