Garang Kuol made a cameo appearance for the hosts against the Newcastle Jets eight days after losing to Argentina in the last 16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Australian may start this time around.
After missing four consecutive games, Sydney’s Adam Le Fondre scored immediately upon his return, and the forward will be vying for a spot in the lineup for this one.
Due to a muscle problem, Connor O’Toole has not played in the league this season and remains a question mark for the visitors.
Focal Coast Sailors conceivable beginning setup:
Vukovic; Farrell, Triantis, Kaltak, and Aquilina; Balard, Nkololo, Marco, and Nisbet; Cummings, Ayongo, and Sydney FC’s potential starting lineup:
Redmayne; Award, Donachie, Rodwell, Caballo; Caceres, Retre, and Brattan; Lolley, Le Fondre, and Burgess
We say: Central Coast Mariners 2-1 Sydney FC Given that both teams came into this match with similar attacking numbers.
It would be surprising if either team did not score. However, we can see the Central Coast Mariners narrowly winning the game at the end of the 90 minutes because their defense is just about as solid.
