Brisbane Roar

Brisbane Roar head coach Warren Moon wants his team to start strong following last week’s draw with Western United.

“We need to build on that, but it doesn’t get much tougher than City, probably the benchmark of the competition in the last three years,” he said.

“We expect a tough challenge, but hopefully we will have a good turnout with the home support and can get the job done.”

There’s no significant injury report, and the rest of the squad is in good shape ahead of the visit of Melbourne City.

The City boys are heading into the game second in the standings following their victory over Western United. Florin Berenguer and Nuno Reis are the two players missing from the team sheet due to injuries.

Curtis Good returns to the squad. He was out of the league opener due to an injury.
