The Brisbane Roar and Melbourne City face off at Dolphin Park, Redcliffe, in the FFA Cup Round of 32. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:30pm (AEST).
The FFA Cup has been slowly brewing as one by one, teams are eliminated. Now, the A-League clubs enter the competition.
While some will enjoy a first-up hitout against non-A-League opposition, there is no such luck for Brisbane and Melbourne City and for one, it will be a short-lived FFA Cup campaign.
The excitement of a new season always brings hope and the Roar will look to continue the improved form they displayed earlier this year. With Stefan Mauk, Tobias Mikkelsen and Adam Taggart valuable additions, Brisbane look to have recruited what they were lacking. Taggart is something of the forgotten man when it comes to Australian attacking options, yet just might be ready to explode back into form.
City have obviously identified a similar issue up front and the arrivals of Michael O’Halloran and Riley McGree are part of a plan designed to support Bruno Fornaroli and build a potent, three-pronged attack.
Lachlan Wales and Rostyn Griffiths also join the squad and City once again look like one of the most rounded and well resourced A-League teams.
Prediction
The Roar will win comfortably.
The loss of Nick Fitzgerald, Bruce Kamau, Manny Muscat, Marcin Budzinski, Ruon Tongyik and Michael Jakobsen creates the need for City to make significant adjustments that may take some time to function well.
