A-League Round 14 My Preview
Round 14 begins two days after Round 12 ends, 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: Roar
Friday January 18th
Wanderers v Reds
Both teams are in need of a win; I expect this to be an attacking game and an entertaining contest. I think that the Reds will be slightly too good, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they don’t!
Wanderers Game Changer: Kwame Yeboah
Reds Game Changer: George Blackwood
My Prediction: Reds
Saturday January 19th
Sky Blues v Jets
The Sky Blues were lucky to beat the Reds last week as Andrew Redmayne made an important save towards the end of the game to secure the 3 points for the Sky Blues. The Jets have been performing well, without getting a result, but I expect that to change against the Sky Blues.
Sky Blues Game Changer: Andrew Redmayne
Jets Game Changer: Steven Ugarkovic
My Prediction: Jets
City v Glory
This is going to be intriguing match, but Glory should get all 3 points in this one.
City Game Changer: Kearyn Baccus
Glory Game Changer: Jason Davidson
