Brisbane Roar invite Adelaide United to the Suncorp Stadium for their final A-League match of the season on Friday (April 26).
The hosts have been in poor form recently, winning one of their last six games across competitions. They have failed to score in two outings and were held to a goalless draw at Melbourne Victory last week.
Meanwhile, Adelaide's league meeting with Central Coast Mariners last week has been rescheduled for May 1. They are winless in two league games after three straight wins. In their previous outing, they drew 3-3 at Western United.
Both teams have been eliminated from contention for the finals series, so this game has little but pride to play for for both sides.
