Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC square off at the Suncorp Stadium in round 25 of the Australian A-League on Monday.
With just two games to go before the end of the regular season, both sides will be looking to claim maximum points and keep their playoff quest alive.
Brisbane Roar suffered a huge blow in their race for a playoff spot last Sunday when they were held to a 2-2 draw by Wellington Phoenix at the WIN Stadium.
However, Nick Green’s men now return home, where they are currently on a three-game winning streak, seeing off Perth Glory, Western United and Newcastle Jets respectively.
With 27 points from 24 games, Brisbane Roar are currently 10th in the A-League table, five points off the playoff places.
Meanwhile, Sydney FC returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Perth Glory 4-1 last time out to edge closer to securing post-season football.
Steve Corica’s side were previously on a four-match winless run, claiming two draws and losing twice since March’s 1-0 home win over Melbourne Victory.
Sydney FC are currently fifth in the league table, level on points with sixth-placed Wellington Phoenix in the final playoff spot.
