Season ticket holders at Sologinkin Oval haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Magpies Crusaders languishing in the 11th position so far. The guesting Brisbane City will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Brisbane City have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 900 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
