Central Coast Mariners to Win

Everyone knows Melbourne Victory are the more prolific Aussie team but even their head-to-head record against this opponent isn’t that impressive. Sure, Melbourne Victory have the advantage with four victories, four draws, and only three losses against Central Coast Mariners, but coach Nick Montgomery have the momentum on their side.

Jason Cummings to Score Anytime

Jamie Maclaren was leading with so many goals two months ago, it was unthinkable to even imagine Jason Cummings entering the top goalscorer award battle. Yet, here we are. Central Coast Mariners’ key finisher has 14 goals to his name and he needs only a couple of more to reach the top of the summit.

The 27-year-old striker very rarely gets subbed out, he’s on penalty duty for the visitors, and he’s the focal point of attack. All the foundation stones are certainly there, it’s up to him to make our Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners prediction a success.

Melbourne Victory odds: 33/25 (2.32) – 42.0%

Draw odds: 51/20 (3.55) – 27.0%

Central Coast Mariners odds: 39/20 (2.95) – 31.0%

Melbourne Victory may be favorites to win on paper at 33/25 (2.32), but we think their 42.0% predicted win probability to be highly inflated by the bookies. Central Coast Mariners’ odds at 39/20 (2.95) give coach Nick Montgomery’s boys a solid 31.0% win chance that we feel should be significantly higher.

Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners Lineups & Team News

Melbourne Victory

Bad luck is haunting Melbourne City this season. The once glorious A-League team is at the bottom of the table with only 18 points to their name. Not winning a single game in the past three weeks is starting to take a toll on the players, and that’ll certainly work in favor of our Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners prediction.

Predicted lineup – Izzo (GK), Geria, Da Silva, Roderick, Cadete, Velupillay, Chapman, Brillante, Folami, Fornaroli & Oikonomidis

Central Coast Mariners

M. T and Jason Cummings gave Central Coast Mariners a lifeline in the A-League with their three fantastic goals against Macarthur. The come-from-behind 4-1 win will serve as a huge motivation booster for Sunday’s clash against Melbourne Victory and if the players play their cards right, we just might see them poaching the full set of points.

Predicted lineup – Vukovic (GK), Roux, Windust, Hall, McGarry, Theoharous, Balard, Steele, Silvera, Cummings & M.T

Player to Watch: James McGarry

Central Coast Mariners’ right-back was simply everywhere on the 11^th of March. With his lung-bursting runs down the right, he caused plenty of issues for Macarthur’s defenders. His 30^th-minute equalizer was a stepping stone for the 4-1 win and we’re sure that our Melbourne Victory vs Central Coast Mariners prediction is safe in his hands.
