Brisbane Roar and Macarthur FC Set for a Thrilling A-League Clash
Alright, football fans, get ready for an exciting showdown this Friday night as Brisbane Roar go head-to-head with Macarthur FC in Round 25 of the Isuzu UTE A-League. The match is set to take place at Suncorp Stadium, and there’s plenty at stake for both teams as the season nears its conclusion.
Brisbane Roar will be looking to bounce back after their three-match unbeaten streak was broken in a tough 2-0 defeat against league leaders Auckland. With four games left in the season, Roar are sitting just outside the finals spots, making this fixture a crucial opportunity to stay in the race. Macarthur, on the other hand, have been involved in some high-scoring thrillers recently, including a 5-4 victory over Adelaide and a 3-3 draw against Newcastle Jets. Their attacking firepower is undeniable, but their defense has shown vulnerability, which could play into Brisbane’s hands.

The last time these two sides met, they delivered an eight-goal spectacle, ending in a dramatic 4-4 draw. If history is anything to go by, fans at Suncorp Stadium could be in for another goal-filled encounter. Since their last meeting, Macarthur have undergone significant changes in their squad, with key departures including Valere Germain and Jed Drew, while new signings like Kevin Boli and Saif-Eddine Khaoui have joined the Bulls.
Team news ahead of the match sees Brisbane Roar without Jack Hingert, who is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season. However, they will be boosted by the return of Keegan Jelacic from suspension. For Macarthur, they welcome back goalkeeper Filip Kurto, who missed their last match due to illness.
Brisbane Roar’s head coach, Ruben Zadkovich, remains confident in his squad’s ability to challenge Macarthur. “I feel like we’ve got the right recipe to create some problems for them. We just need to execute a little bit better in the final third, but I’m confident in the hard work and togetherness of this group,” he said. Meanwhile, midfielder Henry Hore emphasized the importance of securing three points for their loyal supporters. “That would be huge for us, especially for the fans. We owe it to them,” he added.
Looking at the head-to-head statistics, Macarthur have had the upper hand, winning five of the ten meetings between the two clubs, while Brisbane Roar have claimed victory just twice. With the season nearing its climax, both teams will be desperate for a win, making this encounter a must-watch.
Kick-off is set for 6:35 PM AEST, and fans are encouraged to grab their tickets for what promises to be an electrifying night of football at Suncorp Stadium. With both teams fighting for their respective goals, expect plenty of drama, goals, and edge-of-the-seat action.
