Brisbane Roar invite Wellington Phoenix to Suncorp Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. Neither team is in contention to qualify for the final series, so this game is a mere formality for both.
Brisbane are unbeaten in two games. After a 2-1 home win over Western United last week, they drew 1-1 with Adelaide United on Tuesday. Asumah Abubakar scored his fourth goal of the league campaign, equalizing in the 59th minute.
Wellington, meanwhile, have lost their last two games. After a 3-2 home loss to Melbourne Victory earlier this week, they suffered another 3-2 loss, to Adelaide United last week. Kosta Barbarouses and Isaac Hughes scored in quick succession in the first half to help them come back from two goals down, and Archie Goodwin bagged a late winner for Adelaide.
