Nothing but pride at stake for both of these teams as the Central Coast Mariners host the Melbourne Heart at Bluetongue Stadium this afternoon. We’ll have live scores and minute-by-minute updates from 5.30pm AEDT.
The Wanderers clinched the Premiership on Good Friday with an easy win away to Newcastle, and so the only team with anything to challenge for here is the Heart who can guarantee they won’t get the wooden spoon with a victory.
Anything else and they’d be relying on Wellington losing against the Victory on Sunday.
We should see a few changes from Graham Arnold as he looks to make sure that his stars are all fit heading into the finals.
That said, he may give them game time here as they’ll already have next week off in the new and somewhat controversial finals system.
The Heart’s season has been derailed in recent weeks, and while a finals spot looked a strong chance just a few weeks ago, the team is now just looking to avoid coming last.
It will be the last game at the club for several players, and I’m sure there’s a few more who know this is their last chance to impress and try to earn a contract for future seasons.
So the stakes could be higher in this one, but it will still make for an interesting contest. Join us from 5.30pm AEDT for all the action.
