Brisbane Roar vs Sydney FC: Match Preview and Betting Tips

Preview

The A-League is back! And we start with a cracker of a match as Brisbane Roar host Sydney FC at the Suncorp Stadium. Both teams will be looking to make a statement in the opening round of the season.

Brisbane Roar will be hoping to improve on their disappointing 10th-place finish last season. They have made some big changes to their squad over the summer, including bringing in former Socceroos striker Robbie Kruse. Kruse will be hoping to add some goals to a Roar side who struggled for goals last season.

Sydney FC will be looking to win their third A-League title in a row. They have a strong squad with a good mix of youth and experience. The Sky Blues will be led by captain Alex Brosque, who is one of the most decorated players in A-League history.

The bookmakers have Sydney FC as the favorites to win the match. The Sky Blues are priced at $1.80 to win, while Brisbane Roar are priced at $4.00. The draw is priced at $3.20.

This is a tough match to call. Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses. However, I think Sydney FC will just edge it. They have the more experienced and talented squad, and they should be able to get the job done.
