Bottom-placed Gold Coast United will be looking to keep pace with the competition when they host Melbourne Heart at Skilled Park this evening. Join us from 6.30pm AEDT for live scores.
Miron Bleiberg’s Gold Coast United have made significant progress in the past month, yet still find themselves rooted to the bottom of the A-League ladder.
They were unbeaten in four prior to Wednesday’s clash with Newcastle and after rallying from 2-0 down against the Jets, can feel aggrieved that they did not stretch their unbeaten streak to five.
But football can be a cruel game and the Gold Coast still face an uphill battle to claw their way toward the top six.
Tonight they face a Melbourne Heart side smarting from their own reality check, having been outplayed in a 3-1 defeat at home to Adelaide on Wednesday.
The Heart had been riding high on a four match winning streak and will be desperate to right the ship given the cutthroat nature of this competition.
Both sides welcome back key players from injuries with James Brown returning for the home side, and Brazilian midfielder Fred coming back in to take the captain’s armband for the Heart.
Miron Bleiberg and John van’t Schip are both well known for favouring a possession-based footballing philosophy and we could see an attractive game of football this afternoon.
With Fred back for the Heart, they should be able to get the three points but if they turn out like they did on Wednesday against the Reds, the home side is in with a shot tonight.
Pressure continues to intensify for every side in this competition and these two sides are no different. The stakes are high so be sure to join us from the commencement at 6.30pm AEDT for comprehensive live scores and if you’ve got an opinion, post it in the space below.
