Matchday 16 of the Australian A-League will feature a clash between Wellington Phoenix and Central Coast Mariners. The match is scheduled for Saturday, January 25, kicking off at 05:00 Central European Time. Here’s my suggestion for betting on the game’s goal-scoring potential.

Match Preview

The New Zealand representative performed strongly in last season’s regular championship, finishing second, but fell short in the playoffs, losing in the semifinals.

In the current campaign, the team’s results have been less impressive, with just five wins in 13 matches. They are four points shy of the playoff zone, but Wellington’s attacking efforts leave much to be desired. However, their defensive play has been fairly solid.

The Mariners, winners of back-to-back A-League titles, are unlikely to replicate that success this season. Central Coast has struggled in the league and currently sits in 10th place.

Additionally, their performance in the AFC Champions League has been disastrous, with just one win in six games, leaving them at the bottom of their group and highlighting significant issues within the squad.

Match Facts

  • Wellington has won only one of their last four home matches.
  • The Mariners have both scored and conceded in their last 11 away games.
  • Wellington averages one goal per game at home, while the Mariners average two goals per game away.

Probable Lineups

  • Wellington Phoenix: Kelly, Piper, Hughes, Kelly, Wootton, Isige, Retre, Sutton, Nasagawa, Supic, Barbarouses.
  • Central Coast Mariners: Kullen, Sainsbury, Kaltak, Poll, Ruh, Steele, McCalmont, De Lima, Theoharous, Doka, Kuol.

Head-to-Head

Phoenix has not lost at home to the Mariners in their last three meetings.

Prediction

The reigning champions have struggled this season, but their matches remain entertaining due to their high goal-scoring nature. I believe this game will be similar and suggest betting on both teams to score.
