Central Coast Mariners vs Western Sydney Lineups & News
Central Coast Mariners
With three victories, one draw, and only one loss in their last five league games, the Mariners are proving to be a hard nut to crack. We anticipate seeing a win from coach Mark Jackson’s boys, as the 46-year-old manager has a perfect 1-0-0 record against this opponent.
Predicted lineup – Vukovic (GK), Doka, Hall, Kaltack, Farrell, Theoharous, Nisbet, Balard, Torres, Edmondson & Di Pizio
Western Sydney
Coach Mark Rudan’s decent 7-2-5 record against the Mariners is about to take a big hit, as two of his key players earned themselves the red cards in the Wanderers’ last game. We are talking about key defender Russell and defensive midfielder Hendrix. Their absence will surely be in favor of our Central Coast Mariners vs Western Sydney predictions this week.
Predicted lineup – Harper (GK), Kittel, Cleur, Marcelo, Clisby, Brillante, Brook, Badolato, Milanovic & Antonsson
Player to Watch: Angel Torres
Top winger Torres is the player to watch in our Central Coast Mariners vs Western Sydney predictions, as he’s the best finisher at coach Jackson’s disposal. With 11 goals to his name in the 2023/24 A-League campaign, Angel Torres is now sitting in 3rd place in the Top Goalscorer ranking of the league.
If he continues performing as consistently, he just might give Melbourne Victory’s Bruno Fornaroli a run for his money.
