Player to watch: Kosta Barbarouses
Great news are coming coach Giancarlo Italiano’s way, as the home side’s manager will be able to count on his top striker. Barbarouses is proving to be the most consistent performer for the visitors, with seven goals scored since the start of the season.
Second player to watch: Kazuki Nagasawa
Midfielder Nagasawa will also take part in this game. He assisted teammates on two occasions this season and is expected to be among Italiano’s top performers against Central Coast Mariners.
