Head to Head
Brisbane Roar have an 18-16 record in the head-to-head with 15 draws across 49 encounters.
Their last meeting ended in a 0-0 draw in Sydney. Brisbane goalkeeper Jamie Young made five crucial saves to deny the Sky Blues and rescue a point for his side.
Brisbane Roar Form
Brisbane have fallen away after dominating the opening rounds in the A-League.
The Roar are winless in their last four, with the side finishing goalless in three of these matches.
A 2-0 loss at home to Macarthur was the beginning of this dip in form. While consecutive 0-0 draws with Sydney and Newcastle did see the Roar pick up points, it saw their goalless run extend to three matches.
Midfielder Jack Hingert would snap this streak against Perth Glory, albeit in a 3-1 loss away from home.
Brisbane Roar Injuries & Team News
Ex-Celtic forward Scott McDonald is Brisbane’s only injury, with the 37-year-old sidelined with a hamstring injury.
Sydney FC Form
Sydney FC have hit a roadblock after appearing to have returned to their championship winning form.
The Sky Blues were held to a goalless draw against Brisbane Roar before suffering back-to-back losses.
Despite staging a second half comeback, it was too little too late as they went down 3-2 to Melbourne City. Goals to substitutes Milos Ninkovic and Patrick Wood saw the Sky Blues cut down a 3-0 deficit and even had a late penalty shout waved away as well.
The Sky Blues would then go down 1-0 to Macarthur at home, with midfielder Paulo Retre sent off just before the break for a clumsy challenge.
Sydney FC Injuries & Team News
Retre will miss this match due to suspension, while left back Michael Zullo is a chance to return after recovering from a calf injury.
Midfielder Luke Brattan will also come back into the line-up after missing the loss to Macarthur due to concussion.
