Brisbane Roar, Recent FormBrisbane Roar will not be too troubled by their 2-1 away defeat against Melbourne City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with 30% of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Melbourne City managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With just 1 clean sheet in the last 6 matches at home, Nick Green will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 home league games.
Jay O'Shea will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Brisbane Roar.
Western United, Recent FormWestern United will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Melbourne Victory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Melbourne Victory had 13 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Manager John Aloisi will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 10 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They, for whatever reason, are unable to keep a clean sheet away from home, having not done so for the past 15 games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Western Utd recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Noah Botić will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Western United's last 6 league games.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 1-1 draw.
The West will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Brisbane having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 5 meetings. Western Utd have a good attacking record away to The Roar in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
In the last 3 league matches against Western Utd, Brisbane have failed to record a victory.
With no real injury worries, Brisbane manager Nick Green will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Western Utd manager John Aloisi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
