Brisbane Roar, languishing at the bottom of the A-League table, face a critical match against Western Sydney Wanderers, who are eager to secure three points to keep pace with the top six. Despite Roar's recent surprising win and their goal-heavy games, they've lost all six of their home fixtures. Wanderers, meanwhile, have had solid away performances, winning three of their last four road matches. The prediction leans towards a high-scoring game, with the Wanderers likely to triumph due to their form and the Roar's defensive vulnerabilities.

Obviously it's been a horrendous season for the Roar, while the Wanderers have also hit a recent rough patch. I'm backing Over 3.5 goals as the best bet for this encounter. At least four goals have been scored in three of the last four meetings between the teams, while the Roar saw seven goals in their most-recent outing. Both of these teams also rank in the bottom three this season for goals conceded.
In terms of a winner, I'm tentatively leaning with the Wanderers. The Roar may have won their first game of the season in their last game, but they've lost all six of their home games this term and I'm going to need to see a lot more before I can start backing them - even in double chance markets. The Wanderers are actually unbeaten in their last four games on the road, winning three, so the visitors look decent value.
- Roar have lost all six home games this season
- Wanderers have won three of their last four away games
- Over 3.5 goals has landed in three of the last four meetings
- Roar saw seven goals in their last game
- Roar have seen Over 3.5 goals in four of their last six home games
- Wanderers have seen Over 3.5 goals in three of their last five away games
- These two teams rank in the bottom three for goals conceded this season
Head To Head
Four of the last five A-League meetings between the teams have resulted in a draw. Both teams have scored in the last eight encounters in all competitions.
Brisbane Roar Form
Anchored to the bottom of the ladder with just one win from 13 games and 17 points adrift of the top six, it's safe to say this season is now officially a write-off for Brisbane.
That's even despite the Roar securing their first win of the season in their most-recent match, registering a shock 4-3 victory over Sydney FC on the road.
However, the Roar now return home to Suncorp, where they've lost all six of their games this season.
Brisbane have also lost teenage striker Thomas Waddingham, who recently signed with Portsmouth in the English Championship, scoring on debut.
Brisbane Roar Team News
Ben Warland is the only unavailable player with injury for this game.
Western Sydney Wanderers Form
It's been a difficult last month or so for the Wanderers, with the team winning just one of their last five games - and that lone victory was against lowly Perth Glory.
As a result, Western Sydney have dropped to eighth spot on the ladder, four points adrift of the top six, making this a crunch fixture.
The Wanderers come into this clash following back-to-back defeats at home against the Mariners (3-1) and Auckland FC (1-0).
However, the good news for the Wanderers is their impressive away form, which has seen them lose just once on the road all season.
Western Sydney Wanderers Team News
Gabriel Cleur and Jeong Tae-Wook both remain in doubt for this encounter.
Verdict
The Roar have lost all of their home games this season and the Wanderers have won three of their last four on the road.
Backing the Wanderers to emerge victorious in a high-scoring game, with both teams finding the back of the net.
