Venue: Kawana Sports Precinct Field 5 (1000 seats)

This match features two teams living in the basement of the Npl Queensland, Sunshine Coast holding 15th place and Magpies Crusaders lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

It's no vacation for neither Sunshine Coast nor Magpies Crusaders 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.

Magpies Crusaders have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

With 1 win, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, Sunshine Coast, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Npl Queensland, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Sunshine Coast who hasn’t won a game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Western Pride. The home stadium (Kawana Sports Precinct Field 5) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Sunshine Coast it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
