Brisbane Roar Eye Top Spot in A-League Showdown
3 Jan
Summary
- Brisbane Roar remain undefeated at home this A-League season.
- Wellington Phoenix lost three of four matches in December.
- Brisbane Roar have secured 18 points from 10 A-League matches.
Brisbane Roar is poised to make a strong start to the new year when they face Wellington Phoenix at Suncorp Stadium. As one of the few teams yet to lose at home this A-League season, Brisbane Roar has the opportunity to ascend to the top of the league standings with a victory.
Michael Valkanis's squad recently secured a dramatic 2-1 win over Central Coast Mariners on New Year's Eve, courtesy of a 92nd-minute goal. This triumph followed a previous loss, but their home record remains impeccable, contributing to their current tally of 18 points from 10 matches.
In contrast, Wellington Phoenix concluded last year with a challenging run, losing three of their four December fixtures. Despite their scoring ability, the Phoenix have conceded a high number of goals, positioning them 10th in the league. They are expected to face a formidable challenge against a robust Brisbane side.
