Brisbane Roar
Brisbane Roar come into this tie on the back of a 3-1 win over Macarthur FC in their last outing.
Goals from Nikola Mileusnic, Corey Brown and Henry Hore gave Warren Moon’s side a commanding win. Jamaican defender Adrian Mariappa scored for Macarthur FC, but his goal was only a consolation at the end.
The visitors will now hope to make it two wins from two games. However, they have found it difficult to stay consistent given that they have not won two league games in a row since May last year when they won two on the bounce against Newcastle Jets and Melbourne City.
With eleven points from ten games, they currently sit in tenth place.
Possible Brisbane Roar starting line-up
Macklin Freke; Corey Brown, Kai Trewin, Scott Neville, Jack Hingert; Jesse Daley, Ville Matti Steinman; Jay O’Shea, Henry Hore, Nikola Mileusnic; Rahmat Akbari.
Injured: Tom Aldred
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Prediction
Wellington 1-1 Brisbane Roar
