Western United Team News: Walatee still a doubt

Western United have no fresh injury concerns or suspension issues ahead of their trip to Queensland this weekend. They may remain without winger Abel Walatee, though, as he has recently been missing through concussion.

Predicted XI (4-4-2): Sutton; Russell, Imai, Leonard, Garuccio; Grimaldi, Bozinovski, Thurgate, Danzaki; Botic, Ibusuki

Brisbane Roar vs Western United Prediction

Brisbane Roar come into this one on the back of a 3-2 defeat to Melbourne City at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium in Victoria last weekend, despite taking a ninth minute lead via Abubakar. The hosts have suffered through a tough campaign with just two victories in their 22 matches so far this season. They now face a Western United side that have been thrilling to watch with their 23 matches consisting of 82 goals this year. They did have their winning streak ended by a 2-0 loss to similarly in-form Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend. They will be confident of bouncing back with a victory in this one.
