It's early days in the Npl Queensland and both Gold Coast United and Brisbane City are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Gold Coast United form and stats
Only two Npl Queensland home games for Gold Coast United so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat.
Gold Coast United's previous game was a Npl Queensland match also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Magpies Crusaders (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 4-4 versus Queensland Lions.
This is expected to be a close game, with Gold Coast United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Gold Coast United as a small favourite), we find two games. Gold Coast United has won one of these, drawn zero and lost one.
Gold Coast United has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 5 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Brisbane City form and stats
The seven points Brisbane City have gathered from their first three away trips in the Npl Queensland is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues.
Brisbane City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Eastern Suburbs Brisbane proved too strong as Brisbane City slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at The Corporate Travel Management Stadium.
A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Brisbane City, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Brisbane City in our archives, and the results are: one win for Brisbane, zero draws and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Queensland Lions in just four days.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Brisbane are regular goalscorers on their travels. 3 goals have been conceded by Brisbane City in these games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Coast, zero draws and one win for Brisbane City. Over 2,5 goals: two times; under 2,5 goals: one game.Top Goalscorers
