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.

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.
