Western United, Recent FormWestern United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 4-2 winners in their home fixture against Macarthur FC. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 26 attempts on goal, with 10 on target, compared to Macarthur FC who had 20 attempts and 5 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 23 games overall.
Their form has to be regarded as good of late with 5 matches unbeaten from their last 6 and 3 wins bagged along the way.
Goalscorer Noah Botić will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Western United.
Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormCentral Coast Mariners will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Wellington Phoenix. In that game they recorded 62 % of the possession, with 23 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Mark Jackson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
With 5 victories from their last 6 matches, they really have put together an impressive run of league form.
On an individual basis, Ángel Torres will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 13 goals in Central Coast Mariners' 24 league games this season.
A defeat for Western United in their last match against Central Coast Mariners was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
Goals should be on the cards for Mariners in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Western Utd in their last 6 meetings together. In their last 2 league meetings with Mariners, Western Utd have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, CC Mariners have shown they know their way around The West defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches.
Western Utd will be determined to get something from this game having lost the last 4 times they've met CC Mariners in the league and not won this fixture for 6 games in a row.
With no real injury worries, Western Utd manager John Aloisi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
CC Mariners manager Mark Jackson has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
