This could be an interesting match as Brisbane Roar have their presumed home advantage while Sydney are ahead 13 points in the A-League table.
Sydney could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a A-League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Adelaide United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sydney.
It's quite the trip for Sydney when visiting Brisbane as the cities are 900 kilometers apart.
