Central Coast Mariners vs Western Sydney Wanderers prediction

These two teams currently sit 11th and 12th place respectively in the table with the latter very much in danger of being cut adrift, increasing the need for victory here from a Western Sydney Wanderers point of view. They drew their last two games, both of which were at home but were handed a 4-1 by Sydney FC last time out on the road.

Central Coast Mariners meanwhile, are building up a head of steam having just recorded back-to-back wins, beating both Melbourne Victory and Brisbane Roar. The hosts are in good form from a defensive point of view, which is crucial going into a pressure fixture such as this. Western Sydney Wanderers will more than likely afforded Central Coast Mariners opportunities to score and when considering that the visiting side have lost four of their most recent five away fixtures, it’s the Wanderers who should be backed in this one.
