[A-League] Melbourne City v Central Coast

Form:
Melbourne City:LWDDLD
CCM: LLDLLL

H2H:

MC won 3 out of the last 6 H2H, drew 1. Last 2 seasons their games have been all more than 4 goals.

Goals Scored/Conceded(last 6 games):

Melboune City: 9/ 10

CCM: 6/ 15

Prediction:
Even Though, MC are sitting at 3^rd in the league, they are 9 points away from 2^nd place MV and 8^th place WSW is only 8 points away. A series of losses could put them way down the table. MC league position could be misleading, even tho they are just 1 of the 3 teams with positive goal difference. MC only won 1 out of their last 8 games. They only failed to score on 1 occasion this season.

CCM sitting at the bottom of the table with just 10 points out of 15 games. However, they are only 13 points away from MC in 3^rd. This could be anyone’s game aside from the top 2 teams (Sydney & Melb Vict). CCM have the worst defense in the league conceding an average of more than 2 goals/ game. CCM has conceded in all but 1 game where they were 2-0 victorious over Perth glory at home.

Even though this game seems like goals a plenty, I think that the league position could be portraying a facade on the strength between the teams. With last game Wellington 3-0 victory over Melbourne Victory, shows that upset could happen. I am going for a riskier choice of CCM +1.5, with small bets on FT draw and CCM win.

CCM +1.5
