Show Preview
Sydney FC host Central Coast Mariners from Leichardt Oval in the final match of Round 19. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 5pm (AEDT).
Sydney were left rather embarrassed after losing to Brisbane last round, and will be very keen to vent some rage against the hapless Mariners.
Last week saw the Mariners play against the similarly embattled Wanderers, but even against a weakened squad they proved unable to be any sort of threat.
Luke Ivanovic could return for Sydney. The youngster was battered around in his starting debut a few weeks ago, but his 30 or so minutes on the park looked very promising indeed.
Sydney will be without Danny De Silva, with the league’s loan rules not allowing loaned players to feature against their parent club.
Ones to watch for CCM are their Sheffield loanees – Sam Graham and Stephen Mallon.
Defender Graham played all 90 minutes last week, and while the team conceded two goals, he did very well to keep Oriol Riera and then Mitch Duke quiet.
He will have another key job to do on fellow country-man Adam Le Fondre. Mallon will be hoping for more match time after a relatively low key 20 minutes last time out.
The Mariners are only without Kye Rowles who misses with suspension after accumulating five yellow cards.
Prediction
Sydney have been quite wasteful in recent weeks. Central Coast have been quite leaky. Even if Sydney spurn some chances, they should still have enough opportunities to score.
Sydney FC 3 – 0 Central Coast Mariners
