Western United vs Central Coast Mariners Preview

While finals football might be officially out of reach for Western United (after being unofficially out of reach after about Round 5), they showed last week they still have the ability to play spoiler on their day.

Macarthur looked well placed to spoil the Tarneit debut of John Aloisi’s side, before a four goal blitz in 14 minutes propelled Western United to an impressive win.

It’s tough to back them to do that two weeks in a row, especially with the increase in quality that comes with taking on the ladder leading Mariners.

Mark Jackson’s side might not always do it the easy way, but they just seem to have this innate ability to grind out results more often than not.

Since the November international break, the reigning champions have lost two matches, both of which were against Sydney FC.

I’m expecting the Mariners to be pushed all the way, but I can’t back against them at the moment as they are closing in on their third A-League premiership.
