"Starting with the hosts, opening up the 2025/26 campaign with an action-packed 3-2 victory against Newcastle back in October, Central Coast knew that stability was key this time around. However, once again showing a string of glaring issues this season, the former A-League champions sit rock-bottom of the table and find themselves at the heart of a real crisis. Last seen putting in another worrying performance as they fell to a routine 3-1 loss away at Wellington,"
"Including consecutive 2-1 defeats against Auckland and Sydney, the Gosford-based outfit have lost all of their last three straight A-League appearances by an aggregate score of 7-3. Likewise, registering just a single win since the opening weekend, Central Coast have also gained a reputation for their extended defensive issues. It should be highlighted, Wednesday's hosts have recorded just a pair of clean sheets over the past 11 months."
Central Coast sit bottom of the A-League table with just eight points and ongoing defensive problems. The Gosford side have lost three straight league matches by an aggregate 7-3 and have managed only two clean sheets in the past 11 months. Central Coast have recorded a single win since the opening weekend and face mounting scrutiny. Brisbane have improved under Michael Valkanis, occupy a play-off place and can move toward second with a win. Brisbane lost 2-1 at Macarthur last time but have lost only once in seven matches and hold a positive recent record against Central Coast. The match is in Gosford on New Year's Eve.
