Western Sydney Wanderers and Brisbane Roar will square off in an Australian A-League round-eight clash on Saturday (December 14th). The game will be played at Commbank Stadium.
The home side have not been in action since claiming a routine 2-0 away win over Melbourne City a fortnight ago. Nicolas Milanovic broke the deadlock from the spot in the 45th minute while Marcus Antonsson made sure of the result with nine minutes left on the clock.
