WS Wanderers vs Brisbane Roar Match Preview

Western Sydney Wanderers is ranked at 9th place with 31 points and comes in a poor form as they got two wins and three losses over the last five matches. The problem is that these three losses came all in the last five matches and this caused them not only to drop in ranks but now they sit five points behind the play off zone. With only two games left the chances for them to qualify are quite slim.

They have shown a good offensive side actually with 41 goals which makes them the second-best in the league but they have also conceded 41 goals, making them the third-worst defense in the league. These are not stats for a team that aims to be a playoff contender. In the last five matches they have conceded a total of ten goals, averaging two per game and failed to keep a clean sheet in four occasions.

Brisbane Roar, on the other hand, is ranked at 5th place with 37 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. They have three games left to play and considering the next one will be against direct rivals of Perth Glory they have got to try and do their best here.

With 34 goals scored so far they have shown a pretty average offensive side and in the last five matches they have scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game. But their strongest point this season has been their defense with only 23 goals conceded making them the best in the league, alongside Syndey FC. I think in this duel it will be crucial for them, actually, they could be happy even sharing points.

In conclusion, I think Brisbane Roar can win this match or get at least a draw out of it. They are currently into the playoff zone and a win here would almost secure their spot, since they have one more game to play than their rivals. WS Wanderers lost their momentum in a crucial moment and I do not see them with the right motivation to come and win this.
