Brisbane Roar form and stats

Brisbane Roar are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the A-League, having played 3 games and collected 5 points (1 win, 2 draws and 0 losses).

Brisbane Roar has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Western United for a 1-1 draw. Hore, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.0. Hore served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 23 successful passes (of 25 total).

A draw for Brisbane Roar before that, at their own venue hosting Western Sydney Wanderers (1-1).

Brisbane are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 9 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Brisbane Roar now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A A-League game at Perth Glory is waiting in only four days.

It's not easy to score on Brisbane Roar as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The A-League is the top level of the Australian football league system. Seasons run from October to May. Ten teams play a regular season of 27 fixtures to create a league table winner and the highest placed teams qualify for a playoff. The league winner is called the “premier” while the playoff winner is the “champion”. There is no set system for relegation, unlike most leagues in the world.
