Central Coast Mariners to Win
The Yellow Army are favorites to win this clash, according to the bookies. As we stated in our intro for this Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix prediction, Melbourne City failed miserably in the derby against Melbourne Victory a couple of days ago as they got pipped 3-2.
This gives Central Coast Mariners renewed hope for the league title. All coach Nick Montgomery’s boys have to do is get a result over old rivals Wellington Phoenix. It shouldn’t be too much of an issue as historically speaking, the visitors don’t play well against Central Coast Mariners.
Over 2.5 Goals
The last five matches ended with three victories for Central Coast Mariners, one for Wellington Phoenix, and only one draw. Considering the high stakes on Friday, it will be surprising to see a lackluster event at Industree Group Stadium.
After all, 90% of the last 10 matches between the two clubs ended with over 2.5 goals. The only one that didn’t was the 2-0 victory for the Yellow Army on the 14th of February, 2021.

Player to Watch: Bozhidar Kraev
The 1.89m tall Bozhidar Kraev scored a masterful header against Western United on the 17th of February but we have our doubts if he’ll be successful twice in a row. The top Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix predictions this week indicate a solid performance from the home side but if anyone on coach Ufuk Talay’s roster has the quality to make the difference, it has to be Bozhidar Kraev. With seven goals and two assists since the start of the season, he’ll be a constant threat to the Yellow Army’s defense.
