Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne Victory prediction

Melbourne Victory must be feeling good about themselves as a team right now following their 4-0 thrashing of Sydney FC. It was a statement victory from an underachieving side and now it’s key that they follow it up with another strong performance and positive result away at Central Coast Mariners, who’ve won just three league games all season.

The Victory are the better side and whilst the Mariners proved their worth last time out with a shock 2-2 draw away at league leaders Auckland FC, Melbourne Victory should still be favoured here. However, the smart move would be to back the visitors via the draw no bet market for extra security.
