Brisbane Roar, Recent FormAny Brisbane Roar pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Western United. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Western United who had 17 attempts and 7 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They have had a strong run of form at Suncorp Stadium recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Jay O'Shea will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Brisbane Roar's last 6 league games.
Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormCentral Coast Mariners will have been quite satisfied taking a point from their last match against Melbourne City, which ran out a 3-3 draw. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 9 hitting the target, up against Melbourne City's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
It's been a mixed run of form for CC Mariners recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
Ángel Torres will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Central Coast Mariners.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Central Coast Mariners, losing 1-2 to Brisbane Roar.
The Brisbane defence has struggled against Mariners in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. Playing at home, Brisbane have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against CC Mariners. The CC Mariners defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Roar in the league, with CC Mariners conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.

With no real injury worries, Brisbane manager Ross Aloisi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
