On Monday, at 10:30, Melbourne Victory duels with the Central Coast Mariners in the 26th round of the Australian Football League. The hosts do not have a great season and it is difficult to explain why they have such a low share of victory, given that black and white can pose big problems.
On the Oval Jubilee in Sydney, where the game is played, we see a match between the weakest teams in the championship. Melbourne is in 10th place (goal average 26-39) and has 20 points, while Central Coast Mariners is in 11th place (goal average 23-53) with 15 points. None of the teams have impressed lately, but Central Coast has at least taken points, unlike its rival, which seems totally demoralized.
Melbourne have won just 5 of 23 matches this season, while Central Coast have won 4 matches in 25 matches. The hosts should also play the goal scorer Ola Toivonen, who could make a difference, if the defenders of Central Coast will not be careful throughout the match. Mariners comes after 0-0 with Newcastle Jets and 1-1 with WS Wandarers, both at home. Instead, Melbourne has played poorly in the last four games in a row, all lost.
It seems that the name “Victory” does not suit the white-blues, who lost to Sydney FC (1-4), Wellington Phoenix (0-3), Western United (1-2) and Brisbane Roar (1-2 ). In addition, the Central Coast Mariners won the last direct duel, score 3-2 at home. We should watch a spectacular game again, because the attack is the only winning option for the two rivals. We bet on goals, especially in the second half.
