Wellington vs Brisbane Roar Preview

The last meeting between the sides ended in a 2-2 draw at Sky Stadium in March. Who will blink first this time? Both teams have picked up four points each from their first two games of the season. They will be looking to improve their positions in the standings on matchday three, with eyes on the top spot held by Adelaide.

The Nix are yet to win the Premiership or the Championship. They finished sixth in the regular season last term and made it to the Finals Series but were knocked out in the Elimination Finals. The last time Wellington defeated Brisbane Roar at Sky Stadium was in an A-League clash in February 2022 (3-0).

Brisbane Roar opened their season on the road against Macarthur (1-1) before crushing Sydney 3-0 at home on matchday two. They are about to embark on their second trip of the season. The visitors boast an impressive away record, losing only once in their last seven outings in all competitions.

The Roar finished eighth out of 12 teams last season and did not qualify for the Finals Series, prompting the dismissal of coach Warren Moon. Ross Aloisi was made to return to the club as head coach after previously serving as assistant. Brisbane Roar’s previous success at the Sky Stadium dates back to January 2017 (1-0).
