It's been a tough start to the new season for the Mariners, but they remain undefeated in the A-League, while Wellington will be hoping to bounce back from last week's Kiwi Clasico loss to Auckland.

Head To Head

Three of the last five meetings between the teams have resulted in a draw, with the Mariners and Phoenix winning one each in the other fixtures. Central Coast prevailed in the most-recent clash 2-1 in Round 23 last season.

Central Coast Mariners Form

The Mariners are winless in their last eight games in all competitions since the Grand Final, losing four and drawing four.

However, the Mariners remain unbeaten in the A-League, drawing all three of their games against Melbourne Victory, Adelaide United and Perth Glory.

Central Coast have only managed one goal in their three games, with last week's 0-0 stalemate with embattled Perth slightly concerning.

Mark Jackson's side claimed their first point in the Asian Champions League mid-week, with Bailey Brandtman equalising for a 2-2 draw against Shanghai Shenhua in the 95th minute.

Wellington Phoenix Form

It's been a mixed start to the season for Wellington, with the club winning, drawing and losing across their opening three games.

Phoenix launched their campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Western United before prevailing 2-0 away to Perth in the Distance Derby.

However, Phoenix couldn't claim maiden bragging rights in last week's huge New Zealand derby against Auckland, conceding two goals in the dying stages to fall 2-0.

Verdict

Central Coast Mariners v Wellington Phoenix

Mariners still looking for their first win of the season, but they also went winless across their first three games of last term before storming to the title, so it's certainly not time to panic.

Phoenix meanwhile have experienced a win, draw and loss across their three outings, so tough game to get a read on. Think both teams to score is good value (BTTS is normally around $1.60 or lower in basically every A-League game), while the value in the H2H market looks to be another draw.
