Central Coast Mariners vs Adelaide United: Match preview
Central Coast Mariners have won two A-League play-off championships in a row. However, the start of this season is not very good. The Mariners have not won in the opening four rounds. In total, Central Coast now has two wins. As a result, the Mariners have nine points in the table and are outside the playoffs. Central Coast is in seventh place in the table, behind the team in sixth place only in terms of additional indicators. Now Central Coast has more matches in the AFC Champions League, where the results are even worse - only one point after six rounds and the last place in the group.
Adelaide United does not play in any international tournaments and has had a better start to the season in the A-League. They have never lost at the start of a new season. Adelaide won four matches and drew two more. In the last round, United defeated Newcastle Jets 1-0, although they played with a man advantage from the 64th minute. Adelaide is currently in third place in the table and has 14 points after six rounds. The team is two points behind the second team in terms of additional indicators, and two points behind the leader in the standings. It's a good start for Adelaide, which may help the team to qualify for the playoffs. By the way, last season the team did not play in the knockout stages.

Prediction
Adelaide have started this season well and have won three times on the road. Central Coast are not playing well at the beginning of the season. However, they have won the last two championships and will definitely fight for the playoffs. My bet is that the two teams will score in this game. The odds for this outcome are 1.51.
