Welcome to A-League and Sydney - Brisbane Roar. In this preview and prediction you'll get statistics, previous results, data, trends and news!
- Sydney have the most points from losing position (13) in A-League
- Brisbane Roar have the fewest scored goals (12) in A-League
These teams have little in common geographically as Brisbane Roar have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sydney form and stats
Sydney's struggle is real here at Allianz Stadium with only 7 points collected from 7 A-League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4.
Sydney are returning here after visiting Western Sydney Wanderers and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Burgess scored the goal(s). Redmayne, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.82 out of 10 in that game. Redmayne topped it up with a clean sheet.
Ahead of that match, Sydney won a home game hosting Central Coast Mariners (3-2).The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sydney have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 18 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 4 and lost 6.
Sydney has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sydney defense is not exactly impregnable. 13 goals conceded from 7 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Brisbane Roar form and stats
As the visiting team matches, Brisbane Roar, who have the fewest scored goals (12) in A-League, have produced an overall stat of 2-2-3 so far. It's a growing despair in Brisbane as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
The manager Moon was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue Suncorp Stadium. Brisbane Roar suffered a 1-2 loss to Central Coast Mariners (placed 2nd). Aldred, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.35. Aldred won 5 of 6 duels.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Adelaide United wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.We have checked recent matches where Brisbane Roar have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 8 games were 3 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
The attacking power of Brisbane Roar when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Brisbane have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The teams have met each other already this season, with the match result Brisbane Roar - Sydney 3-1 registered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - four - two (Sydney wins - draws - Brisbane Roar wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven had two or less.
