Top of the table clash: Brisbane vs Adelaide
One of the most interesting fixtures of round 13 of the A-League will see the top teams Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United clash.
The Roar took the first position after beating the Wellington Phoenix 4-1 at Westpac Stadium and this was against a team that had never lost at home for more than two years.
This season the Roar are still to lose at home but in their earlier fixture in round 7 the tie finished one-all.
Adelaide are coming off an away defeat to Melbourne Victory in the previous round and this is a team that was previously undefeated before the Etihad Stadium tie.
A draw would suit the Roar who would remain top but one thing is obvious whoever wins stays top but for the Roar it will open a four point lead.
