A-League Round 11 My Preview
Round 11 begins two days after Round 12 begin, which makes the fixturing a little confusing! As long as the football being played continues to be of a good quality standard then we can’t complain.
My Choice of a definite winner for this Round: Sky Blues
Friday Jan 4th
Sky Blues v Mariners
The Sky Blues should win this game comfortably if the Mariners play the way they did against the Glory in Round 10.
Sky Blues Game Changer: Adam Le Fondre
Mariners Game Changer: Michael Mcglinchey
My Prediction: Sky Blues
Saturday Jan 5th
Reds v Phoenix
The Reds need to improve on their performance in Round 10 if they are going to take all three points against the Phoenix, which is what I expect them to do.
Reds Blues Game Changer: Scott Galloway
Phoenix Game Changer: Alex Rufer
My Prediction: Reds
Wanderers v Victory
This should be quite an intriguing clash. The Wanderers have a point to prove and need the three points on offer in order to gather some momentum in their quest for a top six finish and a finals birth.
Wanderers Game Changer: Roly Bonevacia
Victory Game Changer: Ola Toivonen
My Prediction: Wanderers
Sunday Jan 6th
City v Jets
If City play the way they did against the Wanderers then I expect the Jets to win this game; that is taking into account that it will be difficult for Eugene Galekovic to repeat his unbelievable performance in Round 10.
City Game Changer: Kearyn Baccus
Jets Game Changer: Dimitri Petratos
My Prediction: Jets
Roar v Glory
This is a danger game for Glory as they are without key player Chris Ikonomidis who is away with the Socceroos at the Asian Cup. Nevertheless I expect the Glory to claim the three points on offer.
Roar Game Changer: Adam Taggart
Glory Game Changer: Shane Lowry
My Prediction: Glory
A-League Round 12 My Preview
Round 12 starts this evening, which means that it begins two days prior to the start of Round 11. Round 12 finishes after Round 15 starts as Round 12 lasts for two weeks.
My Choice of a definite winner for this Round: Jets
Wednesday Jan 2nd
Jets v Roar
The Jets will be hungry as they have played some good football without reaping the rewards. I expect Roy O’Donovan to be hungry for goals and for the Roar to be flat after they rebounded strongly in Round 10 from the shock departure of John Aloisi.
Jets Game Changer: Roy O’Donovan
Roar Game Changer: Eric Bautheac
My Prediction: Jets
Tuesday Jan 8th
Wanderers v Phoenix
The Wanderers have the capability of beating the Phoenix.
Wanderers Game Changer: Keanu Baccus
Phoenix Game Changer: Liberato Cacace
My Prediction: Wanderers
Wednesday Jan 9th
Reds v Victory
I expect the Reds to claim all three points in this contest.
Reds Game Changer: Ryan Strain
Victory Game Changer: Terry Antonis
My Prediction: Reds
Glory v Sky Blues
The Sky Blues can beat the Glory.
Glory Game Changer: Shane Lowry
Sky Blues Game Changer: Andrew Redmayne
My Prediction: Sky Blues
Wednesday Jan 16th
