Matchday 15 in the A-League will conclude with Central Coast Mariners playing host to Melbourne Victory on Sunday. The Mariners are bottom of the table, while the Big V are in seventh place after 14 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.

Despite a spirited effort to hold league leaders Auckland to a 2-2 draw last weekend, Central Coast Mariners still dropped two points below second-bottom Western Sydney Wanderers in the standings.

The Mariners are now winless in three games and have only won one of their last 10 (D3 L6). They have also conceded two or more goals in seven matches during this period. 

The hosts have taken just six points from seven home games this season - the fewest in the division. The last four games between these sides at this venue have ended in draws. 

Meanwhile, after back-to-back defeats to the Wanderers and Adelaide United, Melbourne Victory bounced back to winning ways with an impressive 4-0 triumph against Sydney FC last week. 

Despite having already lost six of their 14 games this season, the Big V are only one point behind the top six, and a win here could take them as high as third by the end of the weekend. 

However, the visitors' away record this season is the second-worst in the league (W2 D1 L4), and they have also scored the second-fewest goals on the road this term (6).

Our Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne Victory FC Prediction

While Central Coast Mariners are big underdogs in this match, they did show tremendous resilience in their last two games, earning a point apiece against league leaders Auckland and third-placed Macarthur.

Melbourne Victory, on the other hand, picked up a much-needed win over Sydney FC last week, but they have been exceptionally poor on the road this term and have not won a league game at this venue since 2019. Therefore, our Central Coast Mariners vs Melbourne Victory prediction is BTTS.
