Ladies and gentlemen, we have been treated to a jaw-dropping league so far. With epic clashes, stunning goals, packed stadiums, and a revived craze for the sport, it feels like we’ve taken a trip back in time to the golden age of football.
Auckland is currently ruling the roost, and while they sit back and soak in their success this week, the rest of the teams are still battling it out with gusto. Take for instance, the highly-anticipated face-off on Friday (9/11) between Western Sydney Wanderers and Newcastle. These two have been going at it for years, with 11 wins each and 12 draws to show for it. Can you say nail-biter, anyone?
Get ready for a Saturday showdown in Victoria and South Australia! At 5pm, Melbourne Victory will take on the not-so-victorious Brisbane Roar.
Talk about an uneven playing field! The hosts are dominating in second place while the guests can’t even score a win, landing them at the bottom of the league.
But wait, there’s more! At 7.35pm, prepare to be dazzled by the clash of Adelaide United and Western United in Coopers Stadium.
Get ready for a true turf war in Sunday’s lineup – the Sydney vs. Macarthur derby. The tradition-filled rivalry between these teams runs deep, with 5 wins and 1 draw for both sides. Who will break the tie this time?
Over at the swanky Industree Group Stadium, the Central Coast Mariners take on the Wellington Phoenix. The home team has one simple goal: to clinch their first win of the season. But the visitors, led by the fierce Costas Barbarousi, are not just here for sightseeing. Brace yourself for an epic showdown.
On Sunday night at 7.45pm, Perth Glory will be battling it out with Melbourne City, who have bounced back from their loss to Victory in matchday two and are gunning for the top spot.
Meanwhile, Glory seems to have lost their mojo and is wandering around aimlessly.
Let’s hope they can pull themselves together if they want to stand a chance against the fierce Melbourne City.
