On the 13th of February, Brisbane Roar will host Macarthur in a clash of the A-League. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 21 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. 11th placed Brisbane Roar is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Newcastle Jets. Macklin Freke struck first for Newcastle Jets on an own goal in the 22nd minute, then Juan Lescano tied it up for Brisbane Roar in the 64th minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Macarthur recorded a 1-3 loss against Wellington Phoenix. Reno Piscopo scored the first goal for Wellington Phoenix in the 12th minute on a penalty shot, but Ulises Dávila got the equalizer for Macarthur in the 58th minute on a penalty shot. Macarthur is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win each.
Macarthur’s most prolific scorer has been Tomislav Uskok. He has netted two goals over the last five matches. Brisbane Roar is fortunate enough to have Nikola Mileusnić in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals.
