Western United vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction

Western United come into this one on the back of a comfortable and impressive 3-1 defeat of the Newcastle Jets in their most recent outing around ten days ago. The home team have now managed six victories in their last seven matches as they launch themselves towards the top end of the table. They now face a Central Coast Mariners side that finished at the top-of-the-table in the regular season last year but they have managed just four victories in their 14 games so far this season as they sit down towards the bottom end of the A League table. Western United are firm favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
