When: Sat 2nd Feb, 5.35PM
Where: Central Coast Stadium
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
Central Coast have the A-League’s worst defensive record, so their worst nightmare is about to come to Gosford.
The Victory are the A-League’s highest scoring team with 36 on the season and 10 in their last three games.
Ola Toivonen has scored in each of the last three games and has ten on the season and will no doubt be a good option if you are looking for an Anytime Goalscorer play.
But for our recommendation here, you can look back to Round 4 where the Victory won 4-1 and a similar result looks to be on the cards.
