Preview:
Marc Rudan’s side are winless in their last four games and scoreless in their last three, including a 2-0 defeat in Wellington last weekend.
But they will be relishing the opportunity to take on Central Coast, who are on a six-match losing streak. The bottom-placed Mariners have conceded 16 goals in their past six outings, during which time they were held scoreless four times.
The Mariners banked one of only four wins this season when they hosted Western United in Week 7, Giancarlo Callifuoco’s second-half goal sealing a 1-0 result. But Western United powered to a 3-0 win over the Mariners in Geelong as Besart Berisha notched a brace in the first half.
Central Coast appear unlikely to bank their first away win since Week 3, but the under may be a more astute play rather than taking a Western United side down on confidence straight up.
