Brisbane Roar team news and form: Unlucky Lions
Brisbane Roar’s manager will not be able to count on defender-in-chief Ben Warland. The latter picked up a cruciate ligament tear and will be away from football for a while. It’s up to youngster Lucas Herrington to pick up the slack.
Predicted lineup: Freke (GK), Gilroy, Bility, Herrington, Hingert, Klein, O’Shea, Brazete, Halloran, Jelacic & Waddingham

Player to watch: Joe Lolley
In the absence of Costa, Joe Lolley has to be at his lethal best at Allianz Stadium if Sydney are to take the three points. However, it doesn’t look like the veteran has any issues performing anywhere in Australia. Since the start of the season, he has scored eight goals, thus climbing the goalscoring ladder.
Second player to watch: Jay O’Shea
Centre midfielder Jay O’Shea will surely play this week. He is one of the key performers for the Roar and we are convinced he will do his best to disprove our top Sydney vs Brisbane Roar predictions.
