ADELAIDE UNITED VS CENTRAL COAST MARINERS PREDICTION

Adelaide United are an unknown quantity being the only team yet to have got their 2024/25 Australian A League campaign underway. The South Australians finished eighth last season. They come into this one against last season’s regular season champions, Central Coast Mariners, who began their campaign with a frustrating goalless draw at home to ten-man Melbourne Victory. Despite that underwhelming result, a double chance bet in favour of the away team remains the way to go for this one.
