Venue: Netstrata Jubilee Stadium (20505 seats)

It's advantage Sydney so far with their 1st position in the A-League table, welcoming Brisbane Roar who are placed 6th.

Sydney and Brisbane Roar should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Brisbane Roar 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.

Brisbane Roar form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their A-League travels is 0 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. Brisbane Roar seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Brisbane Roar are travelling after their nice 2-0 home win in the A-League against Central Coast Mariners (placed 11th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Wellington Phoenix wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Brisbane Roar's away games in the league this season with only 2 goals from 4 matches. As opposed to that, Brisbane Roar have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Sydney 5 wins, 2 draws and Brisbane Roar 3 victories. As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 games had two or less.
