Rivals set to put on a show
Brisbane Roar and Sydney FC have shared the headlines in the women's footy scene in Australia in recent times, and these two sides have produced some thrilling encounters over the last few seasons.
The pair split the two encounters between them in 2025-26, with Brisbane running out 3-1 victors away from home before the Sky Blues hit back with a 4-0 victory at home, which shows just how volatile this rivalry can be and that there is no value to be found in the head-to-head.
Brisbane have been disappointing in the opening two matches of the Ninja A-League Women, suffering consecutive defeats and already shipping 7 goals, although they have scored in both games, and look poised to get their first points on the board against a Sydney side who will surely feel vulnerable at the back.
Brisbane are a free-flowing side
Johno Clemente's Roar have taken up a free-flowing style from a 4-2-3-1 base, and whilst the side have created plenty of chances, they've been shipping too many goals in transition.
They've been relying on Katrina Guillou and Daisy Brown to provide the spark, and both have already found the net this season and could be the key to any Roar breakout.
James Slaveski has a very different game plan to his counterpart, and he's looking to develop an expansive, possession-based identity for Sydney. The Sky Blues have impressed going forward in the first two matches, a 2-2 draw followed by a 5-0 shellacking.
Don’t bank on the favourites
With both sides looking to get forward at the very least, Over 2.5 goals at 1.48 seems like the top bet, whilst both teams to score is also taken at 1.42, given how many goals are already going in at both ends of the pitch.
A draw is certainly in the mix, but we're going for Brisbane to nick it in what will likely be a narrow fixture one way or the other. The Roar have the slightly better forward players, and if they can just keep it tight, they should have a little bit extra to edge a result.
