Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney Prediction

The Central Coast Mariners come into this one on the back of being hammered 4-0 by Yokohama F. Marinos in the group stages of the AFC Champions League the other day. The home team have struggled this season with just one win in their opening 11 matches across all competitions. They now face a Sydney side that comfortably defeated Kaya by three goals to one in the AFC Cup the other day and they have been steadier than CCM in the A League, too, so a double chance bet in favour of the away team would appear a good shout for this one.

Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney Tip: Double chance – Sydney to win or draw
