Show Preview
It’s last versus second to last open Round 20, as Central Coast Mariners return home to Central Coast Stadium to face Brisbane Roar. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:50pm (AEDT).
Central Coast held Sydney to a 1-1 draw last weekend. Impressive displays from keeper Ben Kennedy and new import defender Sam Graham, going a long way to sure up their defensive woes.
The high of Brisbane’s first win under Darren Davies came to an end with a 4-0 loss away to the relentless, ladder leading Glory.
Issues all over the park in both defence and attack that need to be addressed if they are to get anything out of this one.
CCM lost both Tommy Oar and Tom Hiariej to injury. Oar’s knee ruling him out for the rest of the season, while Hiariej’s groin should only be a few weeks.
Second choice goalkeeper Adam Pearce has been omitted, in favour of youth team keeper Joe Gauci. And Kye Rowles returns from suspension.
Brisbane have some key ins, with Jamie Young and Alex Lopez returning from their respective suspensions. And Thomas Kristensen returning from Injury.
Joe Caletti, Macklin Freke and Jay Barnett have come out of the squad.
Prediction
This is very hard to predict. It’s almost impossible to say which Central Coast and Brisbane teams will turn up. Will Brisbane be hapless – like against Perth. Or will they spirited – like against Sydney? Will Central Coast hold structure, or revert back to being leaky?
Let’s be optimistic. Spirited Brisbane, and a structured Central Coast.
Central Coast 1 – 1 Brisbane
