Match Preview: Women ready for Roar showdown

Sydney FC Women are set to take on Brisbane Roar at Ballymore Stadium this Saturday in what promises to be a thrilling clash between two of the Liberty A-League’s top contenders.

In their opening fixture, Sydney FC delivered an electrifying performance at Allianz Stadium, triumphing with a 2-0 victory against rivals, Western Sydney Wanderers. This match not only showcased the side’s dominance on the field but also set a new record for the highest attendance in the Liberty A-League, with an astonishing 11,471 fans in the stands.

However, the win was bittersweet as Captain Nat Tobin sustained an unfortunate injury, being stretchered off early in the second half. Subsequent scans confirmed that the skipper would be sidelined for the entire season due to an ACL tear.

Coach Ante Juric’s squad is on a mission to capture both the Premiership and Championship titles once again this season. With their impressive talent, the Sky Blues are eager to maintain their position at the top of the league. The team also boasts several new faces, including the addition of Shea Connors, who was Brisbane Roar’s Golden Boot winner in the previous season. Connors’ transfer has added firepower to Sydney FC’s already formidable lineup, and her performance will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.

After witnessing a significant increase in Women’s Memberships and the city’s enthusiastic support for women’s football during the World Cup, Brisbane Roar excitedly anticipates their inaugural Women’s home game of the season at Ballymore Stadium.

The last time these two sides met, Sydney FC emerged as the victors with a convincing 4-1 win. Brisbane Roar will be looking for redemption and a chance to even the score, making this match a must-watch for football enthusiasts.
