The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Brisbane City are in the 6th position while the guesting Moreton Bay United worry at 10th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
Brisbane City form and stats
Brisbane City have played three Npl Queensland home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Brisbane City manager M. Smith and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Gold Coast Knights (placed 3rd) in the Npl Queensland. A strong away win before that one, visiting Capalaba and winning 3-2.
Brisbane are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Brisbane with 6 goals conceded in these matches.
Moreton Bay United form and stats
Moreton Bay United have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Npl Queensland, after 1-3-2 (6 played). It's a growing despair in Moreton as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Moreton failed to get anything from their last game, a Npl Queensland home match vs Capalaba (placed 9th) that ended with defeat 3-5. Preceding that, the 0-3 home loss versus Peninsula Power.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Capalaba was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?
Moreton has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 10 goals from 6 games. Moreton's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Last four meetings between the teams: Brisbane City won one, Moreton Bay United won two and one draw. three games with over 2,5 goals, one match with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
