Melbourne Victory has added two players to an extended squad for Wednesday night’s match against Central Coast Mariners.
Tickets for the match are available here.
Mitch Austin returns from injury, while Rashid Mahazi has been promoted for the Hyundai A-League clash at AAMI Park.
Austin, who injured his ankle in last month’s 2-0 win over Newcastle Jets, has trained strongly this week.
Victory is undefeated in its past nine matches against the Mariners, conceding more than a single goal in a game just once across that span.
Victory is also unbeaten against Central Coast in Melbourne since 2009.
Third on the Hyundai A-League ladder with two games in hand, Victory can return to second position with a win or draw against the Mariners.
Tickets for the match are available here.
