Auckland come into this match after losing at home to Western Sydney Wanderers 2-5 in the A-League Men on 24 Oct, a game where the defence fell apart mid-match and they could not catch up. Meanwhile Brisbane Roar had just beaten Perth Glory 2-1 at home in the same competition on 23 Oct. The two teams therefore arrive in very different moods, though it is still early in the season and neither side's form has settled. Auckland still showed attacking quality in the match before that, beating Melbourne City 3-1 on 17 Oct, but the problem is a defence that was picked apart repeatedly in the latest game. Brisbane Roar, for their part, played at home according to plan, winning while controlling the situation, and the point to watch is the late stages of games where they both score and concede a lot. This game is likely to be a trade of punches in midfield. Auckland must be the side that opens up and attacks to make amends for the previous result, while Brisbane Roar will likely wait for counter-attacking chances and use their home advantage to control the tempo so the game does not become too open. This kind of pattern means there is a fair chance of a draw, and both teams look likely to score a goal each.
