When: 17:35 | Saturday 25/11/2017
Where: Westpac Stadium
Preview:
The Phoenix are a great attacking team at home scoring 9 goals this season in their three matches at Westpac Stadium. The combination of Krishna, Finkler, Vidosic, Paracki and Kalujerovic offer them plenty of attacking options.
Both teams should enter the contest fresh with the Phoenix having the week off after their match against the Wanderers was cancelled and the Mariners playing last Thursday night to accommodate for Adelaide United playing Tuesday in the FFA Cup final.
FINAL SAY: Based on the fact that the Phoenix score heavily at home (9) and at the same time concede lots of goals (6) we favour both teams to score in this game. Central Coast have the weapons to take this match right up to the Phoenix, although they are yet to prove they can put together a dominant performance away from Hunter Stadium.
