Main Match Prediction

Wellington are priced at -128 to secure a victory and we think these odds look too big. We’re expecting the hosts to land a A-League win and a nice potential return could be on the cards.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

• Wellington have won 3 consecutive games at home.
• Central Coast have lost 3 of their last 5 games on the road.
• Central Coast have lost 7 of their last 13 games on the road.

Team news is very useful and our football tipsters are keen to identify the players who are doubtful with injury. You’ll also find us studying the form guide, with lots of A-League data available which provides a clear picture from the stats.

According to the top bookies, our pick has a 56.2% chance of landing a return. However, our experts have this number between 60-65% based on their in-depth research. This is why we regard this as a value wager.

There’s the chance to secure bigger odds by combining Wellington to win with BTTS No if you think that they’ll not only oblige with a victory but also keep a clean sheet during the ninety minutes.
