Brisbane Roar vs Western United Preview

In stark contrast to the A-League finals opener, Brisbane Roar and Western United will be satisfied with their lead-in form.

The Roar lost to Adelaide first up after the resumption but overcame the Victory 2-1 then notched back-to-back 1-all draws with the higher-ranked Phoenix and Sydney FC. Coach Robbie Fowler may have returned to England, but the defensive steel he instilled this season remains – the Roar have not conceded more than one goal in their past 14 matches.

Western United won four and lost two of their six post-restart games. After cracking wins over Wanderers (5-3), the Glory (2-0) and Sydney FC (2-1), Mark Rudan fielded a changed-up side that went down to Melbourne City 3-1 on Wednesday. It was an astute move to freshen up his squad that may pay big dividends. Meanwhile, Besart Berisha has been in hot form, posting nine goals in Western United’s last seven games and scoring in each of their last four.

The teams split their two regular season clashes. Connor Pain and Berisha scored first-half goals in Western United’s 2-0 win in Brisbane in Week 10, while Mirza Muratovic’s 61st-minute strike saw Brisbane prevail 1-0 in Ballarat.

This should be a gripping affair and the Roar will be difficult to break down. But Western United’s more potent attack should win the day eventually.
