Brisbane Roar U21 vs Sunshine Coast Wanderers Tips

The Sunshine Coast Wanderers are looking to edge closer to a top-four spot, although they are running out of time to do so as the season edges towards a close. They have to beat a struggling Brisbane Roar U21 side that is four points short of Logan Lightning in 10th, and in desperate need of a win.

Head to Head

The last two matches between the pair have ended in score draws. Before this, the Roar had won 4-0 in their home match in 2021, but circumstances are very different for the home side right now.

Brisbane Roar U21 Form

The Roar have been awful this season, and they are meandering towards a bottom-two finish right now. Their inability to win fames has continually tripped them up. with two wins in their last 15 coming alongside three draws and 10 defeats. A 1-0 win over Capalaba was a good result, but it does not distract from just how poor the home side have been.

The 13 points the Roar have picked up means they are nine clear of Capalaba at the bottom, while they are four short of Logan Lightning in 11th. Victory here could be a turning point for their season, but they have to hit a level that they have missed all too often this season.

Sunshine Coast Wanderers Form

The Wanderers sit in seventh in the league right now, with six wins and seven draws in 18 leading them onto 25 points. The Wanderers currently sit six points short of the Gold Coast Knights in fourth, and a win in this one will swell their hopes of claiming a top-four spot. However, the Wanderers have played 18 games, whereas the Knights have played 16 games. This means that the away side simply have to win as they hope to put pressure on those above them.

However, the Wanderers have really struggled on the road this year. A single win in eight attempts is not good enough and we think they will struggle once again.
