An important duel in the bottom section of the Brisbane Premier League, with both Acacia Ridge and Brisbane Knights experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 9th and the visitors in 11th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Acacia Ridge form and stats
Acacia Ridge have played three Brisbane Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 0 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Three consecutive losses here at Ron Proud Field 1 is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
Acacia Ridge are returning here after visiting Bayside United in a Brisbane Premier League game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Acacia lost 0-2 at home to Taringa Rovers.
Acacia Ridge have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Acacia are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (7 from 3 played).
Brisbane Knights form and stats
Brisbane Knights, who have the most conceded goals (25) away in Brisbane Premier League, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Brisbane Premier League, after 1-1-6 (8 played). Bitter travels for Brisbane as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the North Star match. With the Brisbane losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Brisbane play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 2-4 to Grange Thistle (placed 1st). A 2-3 defeat away at The Gap before that.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Grange Thistle was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Brisbane have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 8 league away games 10 goals have been scored. There are big problems for the Brisbane defense as they have conceded 25 goals in 8 away games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last four matches): Acacia two wins, one draw and Brisbane Knights one victory. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one game had two or less.Acacia Ridge missing players
