Brisbane Roar vs Adelaide United : Round 4 A-League...
The record setting Roar will be looking to make it a perfect four wins from as many starts this season, when they host an inconsistent Adelaide outfit at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night, to kick-off week four of the 2011-2012 A-League competition. Brisbane were ruthless in their second half disposal of neighbours Gold Coast last weekend, having taken a one goal lead into the break after United had largely gone toe-to-toe with the reigning champions in the opening stanza. Second half goals to new...
Perth Glory vs Wellington Phoenix : Round 3 A-Le...
Perth will be out to make it a perfect three wins from as many starts in the seventh installment of the A-League competition, when they play host to Wellington at NIB Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The Glory were given little hope of contending for this season's title after their horror 2010-2011 campaign - which saw them win just five of their 30 regular-season matches - but the club's fan base now has reason to be optimistic following wins over Adelaide and Melbourne Heart. Two-time A-League Golden...
Newcastle Jets vs Central Coast Mariners : Round...
Newcastle will be looking to put in an impressive performance ahead of the arrival next week of new head coach Gary Van Egmond - who guided the Jets to an A-League championship in the 2007-2008 season - when they host neighbours Central Coast at Ausgrid Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the first F3 derby for season 2011-2012. Having won their opening fixture at home to Melbourne Heart just days after the sacking of former boss Branko Culina, the Jets were well off the pace against Wellington last...
Melbourne Victory vs Melbourne Heart : Round 3 A...
The A-League's only cross-town derby will enter it's fourth installment on Saturday night, when the Victory and the Heart go head-to-head in front of what will be a bumper crowd at Etihad Stadium. Despite last season being the Heart's debut A-League campaign, there was still plenty of tension - and excitement - in the three fixtures between these two sides, with the new boys causing an upset to win the first encounter 2-1, before the Victory hit back to win the next clash 3-1. The third and final...
Adelaide United vs Sydney FC : Round 3 A-League ...
The winless sky blues travel to the city of churches on Saturday night, as they seek to kick-start their 2011-2012 A-League campaign with a victory over fierce rivals Adelaide at Hindmarsh Stadium. As one of the competition's pre-season favourites to win the championship - due largely to their signing of star Socceroo Brett Emerton - Sydney will feel the pressure start to build should they fail to return home with all three points in this one, after having yielded a total of just one point from...
Brisbane Roar vs Gold Coast United : Round 3 A-L...
Defending A-League champions Brisbane will be out to extend their record 30-match unbeaten run when they host rivals Gold Coast in the Queensland derby at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night. Despite undergoing some key playing personal changes in the off-season, Ange Postecoglou's Roar have started the 2011-2012 campaign from where they left off last season, notching up back-to-back wins over Central Coast and Sydney to sit top of the table after two rounds. The Roar possess a somewhat surprisingly...
Melbourne Heart vs Perth Glory : Round 2 A-League...
The Heart enter their first home match of the new A-League season looking to bounce back from their unfortunate 3-2 loss to Newcastle last weekend, when they host last-start winners Perth at AAMI Park on Sunday evening. All three previous meetings between the two sides have ended in draws, with the most recent being a 1-1 result in January late last season. Led by off-season signings David Williams, Mate Dugandzic and captain Fred, the new-look Heart outfit were impressive against the Jets, moving...
Wellington Phoenix vs Newcastle Jets : Round 2 A...
Newcastle head across the Tasman looking to continue their bright start to the new A-League season, by making it two wins from as many games when they face the Phoenix at Westpac Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The off-field drama surrounding the club's 11th hour decision to part ways with coach Branko Culina and their subsequent application to terminate the playing contract of his injured son Jason last week, didn't seem to affect the Jets on the weekend as they claimed a thrilling 3-2 home win...
Sydney FC vs Brisbane Roar : Round 2 A-League 20...
Defending champions Brisbane head to the harbour city looking to keep their awe-inspiring and record-breaking 28-match unbeaten streak alive, facing off against the highly-fancied Sydney FC on Saturday night at the Sydney Football Stadium. Despite losing key trio Matt McKay, Jean Carlos Solorzano and Kosta Barbarouses during the off-season, Ange Postecoglou's Roar looked just as slick as the 2010-2011 version in their week one win over Central Coast last weekend and the much-applauded coach will...
Central Coast Mariners vs Gold Coast United : Round...
Both the Mariners and United will be looking for their first wins of the new A-League season, when they lock horns with each other at Bluetongue Stadium on Saturday afternoon in what is a re-match of last season's Preliminary Final. Central Coast were victorious 1-0 in that clash and deservedly moved onto the Grand Final at Gold Coast's exspense, and the Mariners have only lost once to Miron Bleiberg's men once in their past five head-to-head encounters. Last weekend Central Coast were totally...
