Brisbane City form and stats

The story so far in the Npl Queensland for Brisbane City at their home stadium (Jack Speare Park) is 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat.

It's back home for Brisbane, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Capalaba away with the result 6-1. As mentioned above, Brisbane City "killed" Capalaba in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Peninsula Power that ended 2-2.

The manager Smith will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to SC Wanderers in only four days.

Brisbane have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Two away games in a row for Gold Coast United, whose coach Piddick could celebrate last time after the win against Brisbane Roar II.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Gold Coast Knights wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
