Competition: A-League
Market: Brisbane Roar win
Odds: 13/10 @ 1xBet
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the A-League table, Brisbane Roar will make the trip to Western United on Friday morning.
Starting with the hosts, while Western United might have opened up the new campaign with their sights set on punching a play-off ticket, John Aloisi’s men are enduring a major A-League nightmare. Last seen putting in another woeful performance as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Central Coast, the Victoria-based outfit have rightfully come under a huge amount of scrutiny. Sat rock-bottom of the table and collecting just three points from their first seven appearances, the one-time Brisbane boss should be bracing himself for another stern examination when his former club arrive at the Wyndham Regional Facility on Friday morning. Signing off November with a 3-1 loss against Adelaide, Western United have now lost each of their previous six A-League appearances on the spin. With that extended rut highlighted by a 5-0 defeat against Western Sydney on October 28th, it should also be highlighted that Aloisi’s struggling squad have 15 strikes on their six-match losing run.
As for the visitors, while Brisbane might have endured their own A-League struggle last season, the Lions have come roaring back this time around. Making a string of improvements since opening up the new campaign and riding a recent wave of momentum, the Queensland-based outfit will certainly be smelling the chance to make another statement here. Last seen putting in another eye-catching performance as they clinched a 2-0 victory away at Adelaide, Brisbane suddenly find themselves sat just a single point adrift of climbing to the top of the A-League table. With the mood around Lang Park at a red-hot high, the Lions have collected 10 points from their last four top-flight appearances. Signing off November with a 2-1 victory against Perth, Friday’s guests should also be excited by their most recent showdown against the A-League strugglers. Landing a 1-0 win when the two sides last met back on March 18th, we are expecting a similar outcome this weekend.
