Venue: Lanham Park (1000 seats)

A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Grange Thistle fans are optimistic that the difference between 1st and Brisbane Knights's 9th place in the table will show on the pitch.

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.

Brisbane Knights have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2000 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

Brisbane Knights form and stats

Brisbane Knights, who have the most conceded goals (21) away in Brisbane Premier League, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Brisbane Premier League, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Brisbane as they have been defeated three times in a row since the North Star match. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on the Brisbane Knights manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

There might be some fixture complaints from Brisbane as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Brisbane Premier League match against The Gap (2-3). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Caboolture's place.

Brisbane have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Brisbane Knights can't defend away. 21 goals have been scored by the opposition in 7 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head
