Bitesize Prediction: Central Coast Mariners vs Adelaide United – 01/05/24

Competition: A-League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 1/2 @ 1xBet

In what could prove to be an action-packed A-League showdown on Wednesday morning, Central Coast will welcome Adelaide to the Industree Group Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a famous fairytale this season, Central Coast are certainly firing on all cylinders. Punching their AFC Cup final ticket earlier in the month as they stormed their way to a stellar 4-1 romp against Kyrgyzstan outfit Abdish-Ata, the Mariners have their sights set on making real history in 2024. Likewise, last seen in A-League action putting in another thumping performance as they secured a routine 3-1 victory away at Newcastle, Mark Jackson’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Including a 2-1 win against regular-season champions Wellington on April 6th, the former MK Dons boss has seen his high-flying squad win all of their previous four A-League showdowns by an aggregate score of 9-2. Gaining a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Central Coast will be looking to extend on their stunning purple patch here. It should also be highlighted, Wednesday’s hosts have won eight of their last nine matchups at the Inustree Group Stadium – a flurry that stems all the way back to January 13th.

As for the visitors, while Adelaide might have opened the New Year in the midst of a public A-League struggle, the Reds have come roaring back in a spectacular fashion. Although Carl Veart’s men might have already accepted that they will be unable to clinch a play-off ticket this season, the one-time Crystal Palace striker has seen his squad lost just one of their previous six appearances. Last seen putting in another action-packed performance as they clinched a 4-3 victory away at Brisbane, Wednesday’s guests have enjoyed their own clinical romp in the final third. Opening April with a 4-2 win against Perth, Adelaide have bagged a stunning 17 goals in just their last six A-League showdowns. Playing out a thrilling 3-3 stalemate against Western United earlier in the month, Veart’s side have also gained a reputation for their lively outcomes. With the Reds seeing 10 of their last 11 outings finish with both teams finding the net, we are expecting a similar outcome on Wednesday morning.
