The victory against Sydney FC, was Brisbane Roar’s first of the season. Charlie Austin, Carlo Armiento and Josh Brindell-South netted for the Lions to take all three points, last month, before the World Cup break. After winning three A-League titles between 2011 and 2014, Brisbane recorded their worst league campaign for 34 years by finishing second from bottom in the table last season. Adelaide United meanwhile, recorded three successive wins prior to the break. Carl Veart’s side put three goals past Melbourne Victory in their last outing, courtesy of goals from Hiroshi Ibusuki, Craig Goodwin and Ben Warland.
Brisbane had no players involved in the World Cup, therefore Warren Moon should have a full strength squad at his disposal. Former Queens Park Rangers player Charlie Austin is expected to lead the line, with Mileusnic and Knowles in occupying the flanks. As for Adelaide United, captain Goodwin could be missing after his involvement in the Qatar World Cup. Goodwin scored Australia’s lone goal in the 2-1 defeat to Argentina in the round of 16 fixture. Meanwhile, Central defender Nick Ansell is sidelined with an injury.
Brisbane Roar probable starting lineup: Freke, Hingert, Neville, Aldred, Courtney-Perkins, Armiento, Knowles, O’Shea, Trewin, Mileusnic, Austin
Adelaide United probable starting lineup: Gauci, Lopez, popovic, Warland, Kitto, Blackwood, Alagich, Isaias, Juande, Halloran, Ibusuki
