Predicted Starting Lineups, Team News and Last Result
Western United
Last time out, Western United picked up 3pts at home to Melbourne Victory, despite ending the game one man down. Centre-back Topor-Stanley was shown a straight red car after just 32-minutes and the home fans may have feared the worst for their side for the rest of the game. However, full-back Risdon fired the home side in front in first-half stoppage-time and Western United held firm in the second forty-five to secure an impressive win. Obviously, Topo-Stanley will now miss the next game against Brisbane Roar after picking up that red card.
Predicted Lineup – Young (GK), Risdon, Tratt, Garuccio, Imai, Troisi, Kilkenny, Doumbia, Prijović, Pain & Wales
Brisbane Roar
Brisbane Roar faced a tricky home game against high-flying Western Sydney Wanderers and fell behind in the 18th-minute to a goal from Bozanic. The hosts trailed at the break but managed to get back onto level terms just after the hour mark through Armiento after good work from Neville. The game ended all square and Brisbane Roar will have been the happier of the two sides to have secured a point at the final whistle.
Predicted Lineup – Holmes (GK), Neville, Aldred, Hingert, Trewin, Courtney-Perkins, O'Shea, Akbari, Knowles, Mileusnic & Armiento

Player to Watch: Nicolas Milanovic
The young Western United forward is enjoying regular first-team football after cutting his teeth with the club in the last two campaigns.
Milanovic has netted 3-goals in two starts and six sub appearances in the A-League this season and we're excited to see how the 21-year-old performs for the rest of the season, including Western United's next game against Brisbane Roar.
The striker scored his first home goal of the season against Adelaide United last month and is due another goal after going the next four matches without hitting the back of the net, so the Brisbane defence better watch out for Western United's super-sub and soon-to-be regular starter.
