Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne City prediction
With such little between these two clubs currently, we’re likely in for a close encounter as both look to bounce back following defeats last time out. Central Coast Mariners were beaten 3-2 by Western Sydney Wanderers, whilst Melbourne City were 4-1 losers away at Adelaide United, their first league defeat of the season.
Neither will want to go through the prospect of consecutive losses and the effect that may have on their respective squads psychologically and so we could see a cagey affair with the two teams not taking too many offensive risks that could see them caught out at the other end. It would be no surprise if this led to the pair cancelling each other out and backing a draw is a potentially shrewd move.
