Central Coast

Central Coast currently holds the second position in the A-League, narrowly surpassing Macarthur only on additional indicators. The league leader, Wellington Phoenix, has already pulled away by 5 points. In the previous round, Central Coast suffered a 1:3 defeat against Sydney, ending their unbeaten streak that lasted for an impressive 12 matches. On Tuesday, Mark Jackson's team also played an AFC Cup playoff match against the Vietnamese club Phnom Penh Crown, easily winning 4:0.

Western Sydney

Western Sydney has 3 points less than Central Coast and is positioned in the fifth place in the A-League. In the two previous rounds, the Wanderers treated fans to a real spectacle. On February 4th, Mark Rudan's team lost to Macarthur with a score of 3:4, and subsequently, on February 11th, played a 3:3 draw with Newcastle Jets. This was highly atypical for Western Sydney, as their defense remains the third best in the league, conceding only 21 goals.
