There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Queensland Lions leading Brisbane Strikers by 11 points.
It's no vacation for neither Queensland Lions nor Brisbane Strikers as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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.
