Brisbane Roar will welcome Sydney to Suncorp Stadium in the A-League on Thursday. The visitors have won 10 of their 22 league games and have a nine-point lead over Roar.
The hosts have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last eight games in all competitions. They met Wellington Phoenix in their previous league outing and fell to a 2-1 home defeat. Dimitri Valkanis broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, but Phoenix scored a goal each in either half to complete their comeback.
Thanks for the submission!
The Sky Blues are winless in their last three league games. They suffered a second consecutive defeat last month, losing 2-1 to Newcastle Jets. Tiago Quintal equalized for them in the 68th minute, and Ben Gibson scored a stoppage-time winner for the Jets.

Brisbane Roar vs Sydney Prediction
Roar have conceded two goals each in their last two league games and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, they have conceded at least two goals in six of their seven home games in 2026, which is cause for concern.
The Sky Blues have seen under 2.5 goals in four of their last six games, keeping two clean sheets in that period. They have won three of their last four away meetings against the hosts, scoring seven goals in that period.
Considering the hosts’ poor run of form and the Sky Blues’ better recent record in this fixture, we back the visitors to secure a win.
