Shanghai Port vs Central Coast Mariners: Asian Champions League Match Prediction

Current form

Shanghai Port had a poor start in the European Cups. Kevin Muscat men drew with Johor (2:2) in the first round, and suffered a major fiasco against Pohang Steelers (0:3) in the second match. The team is not in the best mood for the upcoming match, as they suffered fiascos in the previous two matches. However, bookmakers believe that the team will be able to pull themselves together and play a great game, as they are the clear favorites. They have not played with their upcoming opponent before, so it will be interesting to see what tactics they choose for the game.

• The hosts have managed to score in nine of their last ten matches

Current form

Central Coast Mariners had an even worse start to the Champions League. The current winners of the Australian A-League playoffs lost two matches in a row - first to China Shandong Taishan away (1:3), and then to Thailand Buriram United at home (1:2). The new season of the Australian Championship started on Friday. In the first round, Mark Jackson protégés drew with Melbourne Victory (0:0). Of course, there was a chance to win, especially since the visitors of the upcoming match were playing with an advantage from the 60th minute, but they failed to realize at least one dangerous moment. Considering who they will be playing in the upcoming match, and even on the road, the chances of a positive result are catastrophically small.

Disqualifications and injuries

Interesting trends for betting

• Central Coast Mariners have gone six games without a regulation win

• The visitors have conceded in four of their last five matches

Approximate lineup : Kulen - Rox, Tapp, Kaltak, Mauragis - Feizhao, Stelle, McCalmont, Doka - Edmondson, Kuol.
