A-League playoffs series start with the game Central Coast Mariners against Macarthur FC.

Hosts finished 3rd this season while for a long time they even were on top of A-League. It was a very good result which cames after many years that Central Coast Mariners finish in the bottom as worst team.

But also is important to say that this team is very different from previous years. In transfer market they bring very good and experienced players with mostly foreigners.

In last game of A-League, Central Coast managed to win against Western United 2-0.

Out for this game are mid captain Bozanic (24/3) and def Tongyik (23/0).

Macarthur FC in other hand finished 6th in regular season of A-League. The difference with Central Coast was just 3 points thanks to the lost in last game against Wellington Phoenix who didn't had nothing to play for.

Coach Milicic and his team managed to get the playoffs in their first season on A-League.

Out for this game are mid Puyo (20/2), mid Genreau (23/2) and def Jovanovic (13/1). But the most important are the returns of best scorer st Derbyshire (25/14), def Golec (16/0) and mid Etxeberria (23/1) all missed the last game because of small injuries.

So far Central Coast Mariners win all the 3 games against Macarthur but in playoffs things are different and both teams are motivated.

I think we should see a closed game and maybe even extra time.

GL!

澳超季后赛系列首先是中央海岸水手队对阵麦克阿瑟FC队。

东道主本赛季排名第三，而在很长一段时间里，他们甚至是联赛领头羊。多年来，中央海岸水手队一直是最差的队伍，这是一个非常好的结果。

但同样重要的是，这支球队与前几年非常不同。在转会市场上，他们带来了非常好的和有经验的球员，大部分是外国人。

在a联赛的最后一场比赛中，中央海岸队以2-0战胜了西部联。

中场队长Bozanic(24/3)和后卫Tongyik(23/0)缺席这场比赛。

另一方面，麦克阿瑟在a联赛常规赛中排名第六。由于上一场对阵惠灵顿太阳队的比赛失利，他们与中部海岸队的差距只有3分。

米利西奇教练和他的球队在a联赛的第一个赛季就成功进入了季后赛。

在这场比赛中缺阵的是中场Puyo(20/2)，中场Genreau(23/2)和中场Jovanovic(13/1)。但最重要的是最佳射手圣德比郡(25/14)，戈莱克(16/0)和中后卫埃克塞贝里亚(23/1)的回归，他们都因为小伤缺席了上一场比赛。

到目前为止，中央海岸水手队赢了麦克阿瑟队的三场比赛，但在季后赛中情况有所不同，两队都很有动力。

我认为我们应该看一场封闭的比赛，甚至加时赛。
