Western Sydney Wanderers host Central Coast Mariners in the first match of the Australian League. Western Sydney's form has been erratic, with only 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in their last 5 league matches, and only 1 game without conceding a goal, which is obviously a big drop in the standard of their defense which conceded only 2 goals in the previous 5 matches. On the contrary, Mid Coast Mariners, who have been out of action since the beginning of the season, have stabilized their performance and are unbeaten in their last 8 matches in all competitions, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 17 goals scored in the last 5 matches alone, including a 4-2 win over Perth Glory in the last match.

Western Sydney is now ranked 3rd, but has only won twice in the last 5 matches, their performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Striker Antonio Antonio has scored 4 goals in the last 5 matches, his performance is very good, I believe that he will continue to have a good performance in this match. However, his defense also has many leaks, he has conceded 9 goals in the last 5 matches, and in 3 of them he has conceded 2 or more goals.
