The A-League is back in action with another elimination final this weekend as Adelaide United lock horns with Brisbane Roar at the Moreton Daily Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been inconsistent in recent weeks and have a point to prove going into this fixture.
Adelaide United finished in fifth place in the A-League standings and have been vulnerable to the occasional slump this season. The away side played out a 2-2 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers last week and will need to return to winning ways in this match.
Brisbane Roar, on the other hand, currently find themselves in fourth place in the league table and have recovered from a slow start to their campaign. The Brisbane outfit suffered a 2-0 defeat against Sydney FC last week and cannot afford a similar result in this fixture.
