There’s action from the Australian A-League on Wednesday night and features this upcoming clash between Western Sydney Wanderers and Central Coast Mariners when the two teams face off at CommBank Stadium with both teams keen to further their ambitions of a top six finish.
Western Sydney will also be keen to end a four-match sequence without a win in the Australian top flight following three draws and a defeat; the draws at least saw the hosts pick up points against Adelaide United, Melbourne Victory and Brisbane Roar.
Although they lost 3-2 away at Sydney FC, Western Sydney had earlier claimed local derby bragging rights against their rivals with a 2-0 home win over the Sky Blues and they followed that up with a 2-1 win away at Adelaide United.
Western Sydney do bring a four-game unbeaten run though at home into this fixture.
Central Coast Mariners occupy 8th place and find themselves just four points behind 6th placed Wellington Phoenix but it should be noted that the majority of their points picked up this season have been achieved on home soil.
Of their seven wins to date this term, six have been registered at their Central Coast Stadium, while gaining just the one success on the road all season, coming in a 2-1 victory at Newcastle Jets in the F1 derby.
However, the wheels have well and truly come off in subsequent matches on their travels as The Mariners have failed to win any of their following eight away games, suffering six defeats in the process and keeping just one clean sheet.
The Betting Verdict
Wanderers have lost just one of the previous six meetings against The Mariners and the hosts look to have a decent chance here as well.
The Pick :
Western Sydney 2-1 Central Coast
