Central Coast the league leaders at home to QLD Roar. Central Coast have had an impressive season to date with 4 wins and 3 draws from 7 matches. However they have struggled as of late, losing to Adelaide and drawing to Newcastle. The reason for this mainly being due to their injury worries. Their four starting defenders, Alex Wilkinson, Nigel Boogard and Paul O'Grady are unavailable in the match with QLD, including their captain Tony Vidmar. They also have Nick Mrdja out, their best striker. The Mariners replacement striker, veteran Damian Mori is away on holidays with his family (lol) and therefore wont get the chance to play against his old club.

Massive injury worries for Central Coast evens this match up alot.. which was needed with Central Coasts #1 home record against QLD's #4 away stats. From the 7 games between the two clubs, 5 have been draws!.. massive statistics which represents the a-league, as it lacks quality in terms of strikers.

I can see this game being another draw, as Central Coas will try to score an early goal and defend on their lead, realising their lack of depth, and QLD would be happy with a point.
