Being on a three-game winless streak, the hosts are showing signs of slowing down after a persuasive beginning of the season. The hosts will be welcoming Brisbane Roar, who are on a four-game undefeated run and are confident about defeating Mariners. The guests have won their last two visits, and are well-rested for this game, with their last duel being twelve days ago. The hosts are just coming from a tough 2-2 duel against Sydney, and have shared points in three of their previous four home matches. Roar is the league's best visitor, losing just two of their eight visits so far. The only absentee in the upcoming game will be Central Coast Mariners' Gianni Stensness, with all of Roar's key players fit for this one.

The last time Mariners defeated Brisbane Roar was seven years ago, and they continue to be awful against Roar historically. Mariners have failed to win their previous nineteen games against Roar, and are without any success in their last ten home duels against this rival. Alen Stajcic's men have won only one game of their previous seven, and are still somehow considered a favorite in this one. I expect the hosts to drop the three points and anticipate Roar's victory or a tie in the upcoming clash.

A victory would put Warren Moon's team to seventh place. Brisbane has played only fifteen games this season, which is the only reason they are currently ninth. They are one of the franchise's best defenses, conceding only seventeen goals so far. Their attack is still performing well, finding the net twenty-one times in just fifteen matches. Roar's in-form Riku Danzaki has scored in his last three appearances, and could break Mariners' defense along with Dylan Wenzel-Halls, who has scored seven goals this season.

在三场连胜的情况下，东道主在本赛季令人信服的开局之后表现出了放缓的迹象。东道主将欢迎布里斯班咆哮队，他们有四场不败纪录，有信心击败水手队。客人们已经赢得了他们的最后两次访问，他们已经休息得很好，可以参加这场比赛了，他们的最后一次决斗是在十二天前。东道主刚刚结束了与悉尼的2-2鏖战，在之前的四场主场比赛中有三场得分相同。《Roar》是联盟最好的客队，到目前为止他们只输掉了8场客队中的2场。在即将到来的比赛中唯一缺席的将是中央海岸水手队的吉安尼·斯坦尼斯，咆哮队的所有关键球员都将在这场比赛中出场。

海员最后一次击败布里斯班咆哮队是在七年前，而且他们在历史上一直对咆哮队表现糟糕。水手队在过去的十九场比赛中都没有赢过咆哮队，在过去的十场主场决斗中也没有任何胜利。阿伦-斯塔伊契奇的队员们在前七场比赛中只赢了一场，在这一场比赛中仍然被认为是夺冠热门。我希望主队能丢掉三分，期待Roar的胜利或者在接下来的比赛中打成平手。

如果获胜，沃伦·穆恩的队伍将排在第七位。布里斯班本赛季只打了15场比赛，这也是他们目前排名第九的唯一原因。他们是球队最好的防守之一，到目前为止只丢了17个球。他们的进攻仍然表现良好，在15场比赛中攻入21球。Roar的状态良好的Riku Danzaki在最近的三场比赛中都有进球，并且可能和Dylan Wenzel-Halls一起打破水手队的防线，后者本赛季已经进了7个球。
