Two huge games of football await the Central Coast Mariners this weekend, with both the men’s and women’s sides in action at ‘Our Paradise’ polytec Stadium in the Isuzu UTE A-League and Ninja A-League.
Isuzu UTE A-League Men Mariners v Macarthur FC
Saturday 17 January – Kick off: 6:00pm
The action gets underway on Saturday evening as the Mariners men return home to face Macarthur FC. Coming off a frustrating away loss to Perth Glory, the Mariners will be eager to respond in front of their home fans and secure a vital three points.
It will be the first meeting between the two sides this season, with Macarthur currently sitting third on the A-League ladder. The visitors arrive in strong form, but the Mariners will be confident of bouncing back at home as they look to climb back up the table and re-establish momentum in the second half of the campaign.
With plenty on the line, Saturday night promises a high intensity contest under the lights at polytec Stadium.
Ninja A-League Women Mariners v Perth Glory
Sunday 18 January – Kick off: 5:00pm
Attention then turns to Sunday afternoon as the Mariners women take on Perth Glory in what shapes as a crucial clash in the Ninja A-League.
The Mariners head into the match full of confidence following an impressive F3 Derby victory away to Newcastle Jets last weekend. Currently sitting third on the ladder, a win could see the Mariners push further toward the top of the table.
Standing in their way is a Perth side in form, sitting just two points behind the Mariners and chasing a third consecutive victory. With both teams firmly in the finals race, fans can expect a competitive and entertaining encounter to round out the weekend.
Two home matches, two massive opportunities – it’s set to be a big weekend of football at ‘Our Paradise’.
