Central Coast Mariners vs Darul Ta'zim Prediction and Betting Tips | February 11th 2025

Central Coast Mariners will entertain Darul Ta'zim at Industree Group Stadium in the AFC Champions League Elite on Tuesday. This match is an opportunity for the visitors to strengthen their position in the East Region standings.

Central Coast Mariners vs Darul Ta'zim Preview

Central Coast Mariners have nothing more to fight for in this competition as they have been eliminated. They have endured a dismal campaign across six matches, drawing once and losing five times, which leaves them bottom of the table on one point. The hosts have been the worst team in this group with two matchdays to spare.

Mariners won the Championship and the Premiership in the A-League last season to qualify for the AFC Champions League Elite. However, they have been a shadow of their old selves since then. It’s unclear what caused the wreck. Head coach Mark Jackson blames injury to four key players, including center-forward Nicholas Duarte.

Darul Ta'zim sit in the round of 16 qualification zone but this is tentative. Their status could change if they fail to claim adequate points in the remaining matches. The visitors have won twice, drawn twice and lost twice in six outings, which leaves them in the sixth spot on eight points. Two more rounds of matches are left to play.

Harimau Selatan, who won the Malaysia Super League last season, are eying a second qualification for the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League. However, they would need to achieve a flawless outcome against Mariners and on the final matchday to secure a place in the next round of the competition.
