Brisbane Roar and Western Sydney Wanderers face off in a crucial A-League Round 21 matchup at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night. Both teams aim to revive their finals hopes, but Brisbane is struggling with just one win in their last 10 games. Conversely, the Wanderers are showing signs of improvement with notable performances, despite being at the bottom of the ladder. The Wanderers, led by key player Ryan Fraser, are favored to win, as both teams are expected to score. This match is pivotal for both sides to keep their season aspirations alive.

Brisbane Roar vs Western Sydney Wanderers Tips & Prediction


Brisbane Roar and Western Sydney Wanderers are both trying to keep their finals hopes alive when they square off to launch A-League Round 21 action on Friday night at Suncorp.

You'd think this is a must-win game for either side if they want to feature in the finals - Brisbane have won just one game in 2026 and picked up the fewest amount of points of any side in the competition across the last 10 games, while the Wanderers are anchored to the bottom of the ladder and six points adrift of sixth following last week's tight loss to leaders Newcastle.

Despite that defeat, I think the Wanderers are in much better form right now and it wouldn't surprise me if they went on a run late in the season. I always thought the Roar were over-performing and they've certainly come crashing back down to earth. I'm taking Western Sydney on the road with both teams finding the back of the net, while Ryan Fraser is excellent $5.10 value at Unibet to score this third goal for the Wanderers (compared to $2.80-3.50 at most other books).
  • Roar are winless in nine of their last 10 games
  • Roar are bottom of the ladder across the last 10 games

  • Ryan Fraser has scored two goals in his last four games
  • Wanderers have scored exactly two goals in three of their last six meetings with Roar

Brisbane Roar vs WS Wanderers Head To Head

Wanderers have only beaten Brisbane once since 2021. This will be their second meeting of the season after a 0-0 stalemate in Round 8.

Brisbane Roar Form Analysis

After a promising start to the season, the Roar have taken a huge tumble down the ladder and it would take a big reversal of form in order for them to feature in the finals at this point.

Brisbane have picked up just five points from their last 10 games - four less than the next-worst side in Melbourne City.

This illustrates quite clearly they are the most out-of-form side in the A-League at the moment.

Michael Valkanis' side didn't feature last week, with their most-recent outing resulting in an uninspiring 1-1 draw with Perth.

Squad will be announced on Thursday.

Western Sydney Wanderers Form Analysis

It's been a hugely disappointing season for the Wanderers, there's no two ways about it.

Their squad is good enough for the top four, but they just haven't been able to get going all season.

In saying that, these last couple of months have definitely their most fruitful stage of the campaign - they've gone unbeaten in four of their last seven, thumped Macarthur 4-0 and only lost to leaders Newcastle and the in-form Mariners.

The Wanderers took the lead against the Jets last week through Bozhidar Kraev, but couldn't hold on as they conceded two second-half goals.

The Wanderers are tipped to secure all three points on the road in a game that see goals at both ends.
