Central Coast Mariners vs Brisbane Roar prediction

Whilst it’s been a terrible campaign so far for Central Coast Mariners, the side currently sitting rock bottom of the A-League can head into the new year off the foot of the table and with new-found optimism should they get the better of Brisbane Roar, who have a chance to move into the top three ahead of Adelaide United.

Expect Brisbane to try and take the game to the Mariners, forcing the issue against a team who have given up 15 goals so far this season. It’s hard to see the hosts being able to answer when taking into account the Brisbane Roar backline, currently the best in the league. Therefore, Brisbane are to be favoured, but consider doing so via the safety of the draw no bet market.
