Gold Coast Knights form and stats
A good away victory last time out for Gold Coast Knights, who won 5-1 against Magpies Crusaders (placed 13th). As mentioned above, Gold Coast Knights "killed" Magpies Crusaders in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A decent goal production from Knights in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 8 league matches. Gold Coast Knights have conceded 11 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Brisbane Strikers form and stats
Brisbane Strikers have only collected 3 points from their away games in the Npl Queensland, after 1-0-6 (7 played).

It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. There are big problems for the Brisbane defense as they have conceded 30 goals in 7 away games.
