With the nervous opening game out of the way it’s time for the second Brisbane Premier League game of the season. Grange Thistle look forward to welcoming Acacia Ridge in front of their home support.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Grange Thistle form and stats
Thistle enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Bayside United's place. The match ended 6-1.
As mentioned above, Thistle "killed" Bayside United in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Last season, Grange Thistle's league statistics were 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Brisbane Premier League. Over these eleven matches they scored 30 goals and conceded 18. Playing at home last season Grange Thistle managed 3-0-1 (win-draw-lost) with 10 goals and 4 conceded.
Acacia Ridge form and stats
A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Brisbane Premier League, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 4 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 7 matches.
Two travels in a row for Acacia, whose manager could celebrate last time after the Brisbane Premier League win against Taringa Rovers. Preceding that game was the away victory against Taringa Rovers with the score of 6-0.
As mentioned above, Acacia Ridge was the only team on the pitch versus Taringa Rovers in their previous game, winning 6-0. This could be a tougher task.
