Wellington Phoenix vs Central Coast Mariners Preview

These teams met just a fortnight ago, with the Phoenix nabbing a 2-1 upset over the in-form Mariners. Jashua Sotirio scored the late winner after Ulises Davila’s opener for the Phoenix was cancelled out by Alou Kuol. Wellington’s winning streak against Central Coast now stands at six games. Just one of the teams’ last 14 encounters finished in a draw, while the last five have produced three-plus goals.

Wellington’s season in exile has otherwise started in disappointing fashion results-wise, but their losses from five games were all by 2-1 scorelines – including Monday’s defeat to Sydney FC. Davila only put the Phoenix on the board in the 93rd minute.

Central Coast have won five and lost two of their seven games, importantly bouncing back from both of their defeats to date with a win. The Mariners took another big step on their path to respectability by fighting back from a two-goal deficit to beat Melbourne City 3-2 last week, then twice fought back from a goal down to beat Western United by the same score four days later. Kuol scored two goals in the space of five minutes deep into the second half to snatch the win.

The Mariners boast two wins (both 2-0 against Macarthur and Sydney FC) from as many away games this season. The visitors are great value this weekend to at least share the spoils.
