The Roar, still searching for their first victory after ten matches, enter the fixture with just two points to their name. Friday night’s 3–1 loss to Central Coast Mariners underscored the struggles that have defined their season so far.
Home form needs addressing
Brisbane’s failure to claim even a single point at home this season has been a glaring issue for coach Ruben Zadkovich’s side. Ben Halloran’s 71st-minute strike against the Mariners showed glimpses of potential, but the team’s inability to maintain momentum and hold onto the equaliser resulted in another disappointing outcome at Suncorp Stadium.
There were moments of promise in Friday’s match, with Thomas Waddingham’s one-on-one opportunity and Keegan Jelacic’s creative movements causing problems for the opposition. However, turning these opportunities into tangible results remains elusive for the Queensland side.
