LiontipsMelbourne City - Central Coast Mariners: betting tip and bets for the Australian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Melbourne City still occupies the third place in the A-League standings, but claims the second place, which gives a ticket to the semi-finals of the tournament. The hosts are only one point behind Western United, which occupies the second line. The Melbourne team managed to score only 30 goals in 21 matches and is inferior in this indicator to all of the top 6. At the same time, it is impossible to complain about the defensive game - there are only 20 goals conceded, the same number as the championship leader, Oakland, but the rest concede much more.
Disqualifications and injuries
James Jeggo, Matthew Leckie, Andrew Nabbout, James Nekowski and James Neuwenhuizen will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last six matches.
- Melbourne City have never won in their last six head-to-head matches.
Approximate composition: Beach - Atkinson, Ferreira, Suprayen, Behich - Lopane, Trewin, Memeti, Tilio - Caputo, Kuhn
Current form
After the championship, Central Coast Mariners failed to meet the high expectations and turned into one of the outsiders. The team ranks only 10th out of 13 and is already eight points behind the top 6. Considering that there are only four games left until the end of the regular season, we can already say that we will not be able to play in the playoffs. The level of play of the guests does not allow us to count on a successful finish to the season - the team lost almost all the games in the Asian Champions League and quite often loses in the local championship. After a series of three defeats in the A-League, the Gosford team still managed to score points in matches with Auckland (2:2) and Perth Glory (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ryan Edmondson, Heine Ames, Brad Tapp and Angel Torres will miss the match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has scored only one victory in the last 11 matches.
- The guests missed in each of the last 10 matches
Provisional squad: Cullen - Paul, Sainsbury, Kaltak- Mauragis, McCalmont, Steele, Mikael Doka - Theoharus, Kuol, Vitor Feihao

1.92Tip and bets
The hosts are unlikely to be able to take first place at the end of the regular season, but they can still take second place, which also gives them a ticket to the semifinals. In order to get ahead of Western United, the Melbourne team must defeat the Central Coast Mariners. We believe that the favorite will be able to complete the task, but the guests have recently managed to beat only the main outsider of the championship. The city is much stronger and is unlikely to experience any problems.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1) for Melbourne City in 1.65
Bet on the total
The guests try to show attacking football, although it does not always bring results. For sure, this time the team will look for happiness at someone else's gate. Melbourne City has an excellent selection of players and will also not sit on the defensive, playing against a clear outsider. Most likely, there will be no shortage of goals scored here.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.70
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will have the initiative on the field most of the time, so it is the Melbourne team that should win in most of the main indicators, including the corners.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-3.5) on corners for Melbourne City in 1.94
