Matchday 3 in the A-League will draw to a close with Central Coast Mariners playing host to Wellington Phoenix on Sunday. The Mariners are in ninth place in the league standings, while the Nix are second after two games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Central Coast Mariners will be hoping for a better season this year after finishing in a disapointing 10th place in their unsuccessful title defence last term.
The Mariners kicked the season off by beating the Newcastle Jets 3-2 with Nicholas Duarte scoring the winner deep in stoppage time. However, they were unable to follow up on that result, losing 2-0 to Sydney FC last weekend.
The hosts won their only home game this season, but that was only the second time they’ve tasted victory on their home patch in the league since early December (W2 D3 L5).
Meanwhile, after ending last season third from bottom, Wellington Phoenix have started this campaign positively, currently one of only three teams unbeaten after the first two games.
The Nix were held to a 2-2 draw in their season opener before overturning a 1-0 deficit to beat Brisbane Roar 2-1 last week, with Carlo Armiento netting the winner in the 96th minute.
The visitors have only won two of their last 12 away league games (W2 D2 L8), but they did beat this opponent 2-0 at this venue last season.

Our Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix Prediction
One of Central Coast Mariners’ biggest downfalls last season was leaky defending as they conceded 51 goals. While they have won a game this term, they have already conceded four times, which is a concern.
Wellington Phoenix have taken four points from their two games, but both matches were against last season's bottom two teams, and they made hard work of getting results in them. Given how these sides have started, we’re expecting goals in this one. Our Central Coast Mariners vs Wellington Phoenix prediction is more than 2.5 goals.
