Central Coast Mariners vs Sydney FC Prediction: We Expect Both Teams to Score

On Saturday, in round eight of the 2022-23 Australian A-League season, the Central Coast Mariners will be hosting Sydney FC at the Central Coast Stadium with the goal of avoiding a third consecutive loss. While all is going on, Sydney will be competing to win her third match in a row. The following are some predictions, odds, and expert picks for the upcoming event.

Central Coast Mariners (LLWWL)

On Sunday, the Central Coast Mariners picked up off their domestic competition by suffering a setback at the hands of the Newcastle Jets, losing by a score of 2-1. Mikeltadze's goal in the 66th minute was enough to give the Newcastle Jets the victory over this opposition, despite the fact that Cumming had scored an equaliser in the 53rd minute.

They are currently in eighth place in the table of the Australian A-League, two points below their most recent rivals in the battle for the final slot in the playoffs. As they face Sydney FC in this encounter, who have won the last three times they've played each other in all competitions, they'll be looking to change that trend.

In terms of the over/under markets, 19 out of their most recent 25 matches have finished with at least three goals being scored. This suggests that the over/under will probably be hit at some point. There have been results of both teams scoring in 15 of the same games.

Sydney FC (WWLLW)

When Sydney FC and Melbourne City squared off against one another at the Sydney Football Stadium on Saturday, Sydney FC emerged victorious in a close match by a score of 2-1 to put an end to the challenge posed by Melbourne City. After Jamie Maclaren scored the game's first goal, the team found themselves trailing halfway through the first half. However, goals scored by Joe Lolley and Adam Le Fondre in either half shifted the tide of the game in their favour.

The previous five matches that Sydney has played in this season have resulted in a winning record of three and a losing record of two. They have scored the same number of goals as their opponents, which makes for a rather interesting narrative considering the fact that they have only conceded a total of eight goals.

The Sky Blues are currently in fourth place in the league rankings with a total of 10 points after seven matches played, which places them six points behind the leaders, Melbourne City.

In terms of the over/under markets, 16 of their most recent 20 matches have resulted in at least three goals being scored, while only four of those matches have resulted in less than four goals being scored.
