Central Coast Mariners vs Western Sydney Wanderers Predictions

• Central Coast Mariners have lost 11 of their last 12 games
• Western Sydney Wanderers have won three of their last seven, only losing once.
• Central Coast Mariners have lost 75% of their league outings this season.

Central Coast Mariners managed to end their dreadful losing streak on Friday as they played out a drab goalless draw with Newcastle Jets, but the Mariners remain the worst team in the Australia A-League.

They haven’t won a game since January and prior to their draw on Friday they had lost 11 games on the trot, failing to score in seven of those. This unsurprisingly leaves them rock bottom of the table and some six points adrift of 10th placed Melbourne Victory.

Western Sydney Wanderers, by contrast, have only lost one of their last seven games and picked up an impressive draw against league leaders Sydney FC last week. They have won three of these seven matches, including a 3-1 thrashing of Central Coast back in February.

All things considered, the odds on offer for a Western Sydney Wanderers win look good value for money after Central Coast lost 18 of their first 24 league matches this season. Their failures to score, plus the fact that Western Sydney Wanderers have scored exactly one goal in each of their last four games, make a 1-0 correct score prediction stand out.
