Subway Socceroos at Home: A-League Men’s 2022/23 Round 20 Preview

Another intriguing round of A-League Men's action awaits with several Subway Socceroos in action.

Six current Subway Socceroos are expected to play important roles on Saturday and Sunday with each passing match becoming more and more significant as sides look to collect as many points as possible to secure finals football.

Craig Goodwin and Marco Tilio were on target in last Friday's thriller in Adelaide, while Andrew Redmayne prevented Melbourne Victory from scoring.

Check out the preview below:

Central Coast Mariners vs Macarthur FC

Jason Cummings is expected to start for Central Coast Mariners when they entertain the Bulls in Gosford on Saturday afternoon.

Goalless in his last two games, the 27-year-old will be determined to find the back of the net and keep pace with Jamie Maclaren in the Golden Boot race. 

Newcastle Jets vs Adelaide United

Craig Goodwin and Adelaide United travel to the Hunter region to face Newcastle Jets on Saturday night looking to make it nine games unbeaten. 

The 31-year-old fired home his eighth goal of the campaign in textbook fashion, controlling Isaías' pinpoint pass on his chest before arrowing his shot into the far bottom corner on the angle as the Reds registered a 4-2 win over leaders Melbourne City.

Wellington Phoenix vs Sydney FC

Sydney FC fly across the Tasman for a Sunday afternoon kick off versus Wellington Phoenix at Eden Park in Auckland. 

Andrew Redmayne kept his third clean sheet of the season as the Sky Blues bounced back with a 1-0 triumph in the Big Blue against Melbourne Victory.

Joel King made another appearance off the bench in the 78th minute, still looking for his first start since returning on loan from Danish club Odense Boldklub.

Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar

Jamie Maclaren and Marco Tilio will be hoping to inspire Melbourne City to the three points when they host Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park on Sunday afternoon.

Tilio scored in back-to-back clashes for the second time this season following a nice header from a corner. It was the 21-year-old's fifth goal and no doubt be aiming to continue his purple patch against the Roar.

Maclaren, who has a league-high 18 goals this term, is  is predicted to lead the line for City with the talisman needing just five more goals to be the A-League Men's all-time top-scorer.
