Preview: A-League week 24 JETS v GLORY Hunter Stadium, 7.30pm Jets were simply dreadful at AAMI Park last Sunday when they crashed 5-0 to a newly resurgent Melbourne Victory. They will be without Emile Heskey for another match (he missed that debacle) while the sent-off Taylor Regan is also unavailable. Glory put some spring into its step with a 2-1 win over Sydney and will be anxious to get something here to keep its slim finals hopes alive. It can do so. SYDNEY FC v MARINERS Allianz Stadium, Saturday, 5.30pm With Lucas Neill out with injury, the Sky Blues will have to reconfigure their rearguard for this. That may not be a bad thing, as Frank Farina's side has conceded five goals in its past two games to two teams (Heart and Perth Glory) which have nothing like the fluidity or goalscoring record of Central Coast. Graham Arnold's side is still smarting after its late loss to Western Sydney last week, a defeat which saw it surrender top position on the league table. The Mariners rarely have trouble getting up for a local derby like this and it is hard to see them losing two in a row. ROAR v VICTORY Suncorp Stadium, Saturday, 7.45pm Ange Postecoglou's second coming to Brisbane will attract much less fanfare than his first, in round two, when his former charges smashed his current side 5-0 in one of a handful of disastrous defensive displays Victory has served up this season. A repeat is unlikely, and with Archie Thompson back in harness, Victory can fancy its chances - and I think it should. WANDERERS v PHOENIX Parramatta Stadium, Sunday, 5pm Who will stop the mighty Wanderers on their march to a debut season premiership? Unlikely that Phoenix can, although weirder things have happened in soccer. Wanderers saw off the Mariners last time and that form line should be way too strong for the Kiwis, who will, nonetheless, have a fluker's chance. Heart is at home, so presumably it will be on their best behaviour, play with pace, passion, verve, style and wit, and run out a comfortable winner. At least that's what the script says, in contrast to its away record, where it has failed to win in well over a year. Adelaide will have something to say about it, but the Reds look like a club that's a bit all over the place and lacking in consistency. Heart to keep finals hopes alive.
