Brisbane Roar form and stats
7 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Brisbane Roar have to build on here at Spotless Stadium in the A-League.
The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Sydney in the A-League last time out and are looking for a win here. Preceding that game was the away draw at Wellington Phoenix that finished 1-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Brisbane have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost six.
The Brisbane Roar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 13 matches. On the other hand, Brisbane have conceded 13 goals.
Western United form and stats
7-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Western United in their A-League matches away. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Western are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a A-League home defeat versus Melbourne City with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Sydney.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Western United playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were four Western wins, one draw and zero defeats.
Western are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 20 times in 13 away games so far. As opposed to that, Western have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.
