Central Coast Mariners team news and form: Must-win game for Mariners

If coach Mark Jackson wants to grab 1^st place, he will simply have to find a way to defeat in-form Wellington. The likes of Jackob Farrell, Noah Smith, and Sasha Kuzevski won’t partake in this game, which will definitely level the playing field.

Predicted lineup: Vukovic (GK), Roux, Hall, Kaltack, Paull, Doka, Di Pizio, Balard, Nisbet, Torres & Edmondson

Player to watch: Bozhidar Kraev

In the absence of goalscorer-in-chief Oscar Zawada, it was up to Bozhidar Kraev to make a difference for his team against Brisbane Roar. And the Bulgarian attacking midfielder delivered a solid performance by scoring a 2^nd-minute opener, which also turned into a game-winning goal.

Kraev is confident

The goal against the Lions was Kraev’s 6^th of the season. The only player that scored more frequently for Wellington Phoenix this season is Kosta Barbarouses.
