Player to watch: Douglas Costa
Costa and Western Sydney Wanderers’ Juan Mata are the A-League’s big stars right now. With four goal returns since the start of the season, it’s fair to say that the Brazilian winger is outshining the Spaniard so far.
Second player to watch: Patryk Klimala
With four goals since the start of the season, Klimala is the top finisher for the visitors. He and Lolley are performing at a very solid level in terms of goalscoring and we are sure that both of them will be among the starters for the visitors.
