Brisbane Roar will entertain Wellington at Kayo Stadium in A-League Men on Saturday (January 14).
Brisbane will have their task cut out to keep Wellington from scoring. Wellington have scored more than every other team in A-League this season, except the top two sides – Melbourne City and Central Coast. Brisbane will have to deploy a rock-solid defensive unit to thwart their opponents.
The Roar have won three times in 11 games, drawing six and losing two to earn 15 points. They sit one place above Wellington in fifth spot. Brisbane lost their last game against the visitors at home 3-0 early last year. They have also fared poorly at the Kayo Stadium this season, claiming one win in their last five games.
Wellington, meanwhile, have scored 19 goals so far as opposed to ten for Brisbane. After a two-game winless run, which included a 3-1 home defeat to Melbourne City, Wellington recovered with a 1-0 win over Sydney at the weekend. The road ahead, though, is difficult, as they face second-placed Central Coast after this game.
The Nix will look to avenge their 3-0 heart-shattering triumph at the Kayo Stadium not too long ago. Brisbane wouldn’t want their fans to suffer a similar fate without an appropriate response, but can they stand up to Wellington’s lightning attack?
