Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne Victory Prediction: Expect a high-productive match

Prediction for the match between Central Coast Mariners and Melbourne Victory, which will take place on December 31. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

The Central Coast Mariners are making a mixed impression after the 2022 World Cup break. On the one hand, the future hosts have achieved two victories over Sydney FC 2:1 and Newcastle Jets 3:0. On the other hand, the team from Gosford lost to the same Newcastle and Melbourne City. Before the start of the reporting round, they were in the fourth position, with an asset of 13 points, and two points behind the VS Wanderers, located in the second position. In case of victory over Victoria, Central Coast Mariners, at least for 24 hours, will move up to the second position, which, as we recall, guarantees its owner a place in the semifinals of the playoffs. Their home statistics are third in the division, better only Melbourne City and Wellington, with three wins and three losses in six games, on a goal difference of 13:10.

Melbourne Victory only played two official games in December. First, Melbourne Victory beat MacArthur 1:0 on the road and then lost away to Western United by the same score. Before the reporting game, Melbourne Victory is only in 10th position, but the future guests are only three points behind their opponents. The visitors will move up by five lines at once if they beat their opponent. On the road, Melbourne Victory has the fourth statistic in the division, +2=1-2, 4:6 goal difference.

Central Coast Mariners regularly play with a total of over matches, while Melbourne Victory, on the contrary, reaches the bookmaker's total under. We believe that in the upcoming game, we should lean more on the future owners of the field, especially since CCM is probably looking to take revenge on the Victorians for their recent failures and overall lack of victories in the last five head-to-head encounters.
