FC Sydney are looking for their first points of the A-League campaign as they travel to a Brisbane Roar side looking for their first win. This second round match of the current season will be played at the Suncorp Stadium on Friday with the Roar sixth with a point and Sydney 11th with no points after the first round. Brisbane started their league campaign with a 1-1 draw against Macarthur last week. They needed veteran midfielder John O’Shea equalizing in the 73rd minute to earn them the spoils after conceding in the 53rd minute. They now have a chance to make amends for their 3-1 loss earlier in the month to FC Sydney, in the Australia Cup final. Thomas Waddingham scored the only goal for Brisbane and the hosts will hope for better fortunes this time. Positively for them, they have lost just one of their last four A-League home matches while winning the other three.

That defeat came against FC Sydney back in April, so the visitors will be travelling confidently for this trip. They would need all that confidence after starting this campaign with a disappointing 2-0 loss to Melbourne Victory. That defeat saw them concede twice in the second-half, failing to count their possession supremacy count for points. They have now gone winless in three league matches, going back to previous season, drawing once and losing two matches. The visitors will look back at their record against Brisbane for inspiration, as they are unbeaten in their last three meetings against the hosts. They are also on a run of scoring in nine straight away league matches against Brisbane, which is something they would love to continue here.
