Cockburn has 2 defenders suspended from their last game (6-2) loss. They were sent off in that game. 2/5 games of Cockburn at home this season had 4 goals or more and 4/5 of Mandurah, so the stats don't back our decision.
Mandurah is at full strength. They had a 1-5 home loss from Sorrento last week but for that match 3 of their best players had just arrived from Indonesia (they had been playing with the State team there) and were obviously tired.
Both teams will go for a win here, an open game is certain. Teams are of more or less equal level. |
