Brisbane Roar perform at a high level so far being 3rd in the table. Sydney can look both up and down from their 8th position.
- Brisbane Roar have the most scored goals in the first half (9) in A-League
- Sydney have the fewest conceded goals (9) in A-League
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Sydney have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
