Queensland Roar v Central Coast

Verdict: Queensland lead this two-legged tie, after defeating Central Coast 2-0, away at the Bluetongue stadium (Central Coast's ground).
Facts for this game:
1. Queensland have injury/suspension concerns: Minniecon OUT, McCloughlan OUT, Tiatto SUSPENDED, Moore DOUBTFUL (played in Japan with Australia 48hrs ago).
2. Central Coast have only lost once at Suncorp Stadium in 7 visits.
3. Central Coast are at full strength.
4. Central Coast enjoy the underdog tag. Have come back from 3 goals down twice this season.
5. Centre back Luke Devere will replace the injured McCloughlan. This will be Devere's first game back for a while. With Tiatto, McCloughlan and Moore questionable, Queensland will field a very inexperienced team.

Picks:
Queensland 2 - 1 Central Coast
Central Coast Win (2 units)
Central Coast +0.5 (4 units)
