Mustangs look to outrun Wolves

Wolves FC are yet to find a win since their mid-season streak of four games. However, their Round 17 draw against fourth-placed Sunshine Coast Wanderers may spark a change of form.

This week’s opponents, Mitchelton FC, will be wary of Wolves, currently sitting only three points behind.

Having played only 14 games, Mitchelton need some strong performances in coming weeks to contend for a semi-final spot.

Buccaneers still on the lookout for competition points

Wide Bay Buccaneers were unable to stop Souths United’s Kado Aoci in their most recent fixture.

His third minute strike prevented the Buccaneers from securing their first point of the season.

The Buccaneers will look to rectify such a result at home against the Bulldogs this weekend, irrespective of the Capalaba side coming off a 3-1 win against Holland Park.

The Bulldogs will embark on the 300 kilometre journey in a bid to maintain in the top half of the competition standings.

Logan aim to remain consistent

The Holland Park Hawks will be eager to prevent a third straight loss this weekend, as they host Logan Lightning.

Overcoming second-placed Logan will be no small feat, however the Hawks will hope a home ground advantage will work in their favour.

For Logan, their job remains the same – stay above third place and improve on goal difference. A win this weekend would see the Lightning secure their fifth straight victory.

The travelling Wanderers are coming off a draw with Wolves FC, while the Rovers suffered a heavy defeat to competition leaders Peninsula Power in Round 17.
