Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormCentral Coast Mariners manager Nick Montgomery will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Perth Glory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to Perth Glory, who had 14 shots on goal with 9 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Few teams have managed to keep Mariners away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 17 league matches.
They have had a strong run of form at Industree Group Stadium recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jason Cummings is showing great form in front of goal having scored 6 goals in Central Coast Mariners' last 6 league games
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormIn their last match Wellington Phoenix enforced their superiority over Western United with a 3-0 away win. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Western United who had 13 attempts and 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Ufuk Talay will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 21 games in a row. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 17 league games.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada is giving Wellington Phoenix's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 5 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Wellington Phoenix.
CC Mariners will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against The Nix, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 11 meetings between the two. Mariners have an impressive record of scoring goals against Wellington, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
With no real injury worries, CC Mariners manager Nick Montgomery will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Wellington manager Ufuk Talay has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
