LiontipsBrisbane Roar vs Central Coast Mariners. Prediction and bets on the match of the Australian Championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Brisbane Roar finished last season outside the playoff zone, taking only ninth place in the league table. In the current championship draw, the club occupies the last place in the A-League and remains the only team that has not won a single victory. They managed to avoid defeats only in away matches with Macarthur (4:4) and Western Sydney Wanderers (2:2). The team from Brisbane lost all home matches. Now the team has only two points and a three-point lead over 12th Perth Glory. In the last round, the hosts suffered a minimal defeat from Western United (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ben Worland is out with an injury, while Corey Brown is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team failed to score in the last two rounds
- The club has not yet won a single game this season.
Tentative lineup: Freke - Herrington, Burke-Gilroy, van der Saag, O'Shea - Berenguer, Halloran, Kato Joe, Jelacic, Schur - Struik.
Current form
The Central Coast Mariners won the championship last season, beating Melbourne Victory in the final in extra time. However, it will be difficult to repeat the achievement, because the team did not show championship play in 2024. Until November 22, the visitors had not won the Australian championship - the team drew three times and lost once. However, in the next two rounds, they still managed to beat Newcastle Jets (2:1) and Sydney FC (2:1). After that, the club from Gosford again began to alternate draws and losses. The visitors lost heavily to Adelaide United (0:4) and Auckland (1:4), and also shared points with Macarthur (1:1) and Melbourne City (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Di Pizio and Tapp will miss the match due to injuries. Torres is suspended. Duarte and Edmondson are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has failed to win a single game in the last four matches.
- The visitors have won six of their last seven head-to-head matches.
Estimated line-up: Cullen - Mauraguis, Paul, Kaltak, Kuzewski - McCalmont, Theocharus, Steele - Mikael Doka - Kuol, Brandtman.

1.64Tip and bets
Brisbane Roar failed to score points even in a match with Perth Glory, which is close in level. Central Coast Mariners are not having the most successful season, but are still superior to the league outsider. We believe that now the visitors have a great opportunity to break their winless streak. We will bet on the success of the current champion.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Central Coast Mariners at 2.10
Bet on total
In four of the last five matches between the opponents, no fewer than three goals were scored. In the current season of the A-League, the teams continue to play effectively, so we will probably see a goal extravaganza this time too. We expect effective football from the opponents.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.30
