It’s been a roller coaster year for the A-League and after 24 weeks of quality football we are just a week away from the end of the regular season and the start of the finals series!
The final week of the regular season will be met with mixed emotions from fans but one thing is for sure, the round will be one of the most intense and historic in A-League history with a few mouth-watering clashes to come.
Only two teams remain in the contest for the premier’s plate and who better to battle it out than Central Coast and Brisbane.
Last year’s grand finalists are arguably the two most deserving of the award, having significantly lifted the technical and tactical quality of the A-League over the past two seasons and finding the consistency few A-League teams (including past champions) have been able to maintain.
Moving down the ladder Sydney and Newcastle are playing for the last finals spot.
The fairy tale-like scenario sees the two play each other on the last day of the season.
A win for the sky-blues will see them progress while the Novocastrian side need at least a point to book themselves in the finals.
Last but not least is the M1 derby.
The last game of the season may prove to be the last game on the Gold Coast with the club under threat following Clive Palmer’s breaches of contract.
The Roar may be playing for the top spot but Gold Coast will be playing for the future of their club, whether that be a win to assert their spot in next season’s A-League competition or a winning legacy to end the club’s short stint in football.
Following their 3-0 win against Perth and with so much to play for Gold Coast will not be easy to beat at all.
The final round of the A-League will be huge, no matter which game you’re watching.
