Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix Preview
Central Coast Mariners are level on points with Wellington Pheonix but sit above them on goal difference. Both sides have had poor seasons thus far and this game is a huge opportunity for one side to push for a place in the playoffs. With seven games left in the season and nine points between these two teams and sixth place, there is still time to qualify and be in with the chance to end the season as A-League Champions.
Central Coast Mariners are 11 games without a win, picking up 5 draws and six losses. However, they have managed to find the net in their last 5 games, scoring 7 goals to add to their season total of 21. Their home form has been patchy but they have claimed victory over the likes of Sydney, Newcastle Jets and Adelaide on home soil.
This fixture ended in a draw in December and a prolific goalscorer has missing from the home side with striker Blake Powell being their current top scorer on just 4 goals all season.
Brama, Appiah-Kubi and Golec are all likely to still be sidelined after missing the 2-2 draw away to Adelaide at the weekend.
Wellington Pheonix find themselves rock-bottom of the table due to their poor defensive record which happens to be the joint worst in the league. The did manage a 2-1 victory over Perth Glory on Saturday but prior to that match they suffered two back-to-back 4-0 defeats to WS Wanderers and Sydney.
Away from home Wellington Pheonix have only collected 5 points from a possible 30. Scoring 6 goals and conceding 20. They have struggled for goals on the road but they do create chances and if forward Kaludjerovic, who is their top scorer with 8 goals, is on-form, Wellington will have a chance of taking away the three points.
Wellington Pheonix will have at least five players unavailable for the trip on Friday due to injury including Parkhouse, Mullen, Ali Abbas, Rossi and Paracki.

Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix Predictions
Both teams can’t afford to lose this game if they want to be in with a chance of challenging in the playoffs. However, we don’t expect either side to hold back and we are expecting goals despite both sides poor scoring records. This fixture ended in a draw last time they met but Wellington Pheonix registered 6 shots on target compared on Central Coasts 1. The home side is likely to keep possession as much as they can but it’s likely that Wellington will be able to find the back of the net this time around, causing the Mariners to push forward more and opening up the game. A score draw wouldn’t be unlikely with both sides pushing to claim 3 points.
