Richlands’ Lions Stadium will host the National Premier Leagues (NPL) Queensland Women’s match of the round between ladder leaders Lions FC and fourth-placed Moreton Bay United.

With in-form Brisbane Roar NTC hot on their tails, a win for the Jets would see them hold onto the fourth place as finals draw closer.

Edit: Gold Coast United v Brisbane Roar/NTC has been postponed.

Friday night football at Lions Stadium

Lions FC were made to work hard for their victory in Round 19, holding off the Sunshine Coast Wanderers who scored two late goals, while the Jets emerged resounding winners from last Friday night’s clash with Eastern Suburbs with a 6-1 result.

The last time these two teams met Lions won 3-1 with a late penalty to Alexandra Schaefer the only consolation for Moreton Bay.

 

Capalaba Bulldogs v Western Pride FC

Friday, 6 July, 8.30pm

Mid-table sides go head-to-head

It may be a mid-table battle at John Frederick Sportsfields and after Capalaba Bulldogs and Western Pride were held scoreless last week, both sides have a point to prove in Round 20.

Pride showed promising signs against Souths United at home last week and will fancy their chances against the Bulldogs, who beat then 4-1 back in Round 7.

 

Gold Coast United v BRFC/NTC
Station Reserve 1
Saturday, 7 July, 1.00pm

In-form sides do battle

Brisbane Roar NTC are in sizzling form in the NPL Women’s and will be eyeing their eighth win in a row at Station Reserve on Saturday afternoon.

United, who are undefeated themselves in their past three, will be hoping new signing Reiri Ono can continue her goal-scoring form after two goals on debut last weekend.

Souths aim to keep pressure on top two

After two disappointing losses in a row, Souths United bounced back last week with a 4-0 victory over Western Pride while Sunshine Coast Wanderers fell to a slim defeat to Lions FC.

Souths sit in third on the competition ladder and would keep the pressure on Lions and The Gap above with a similar result against the 12^th placed Wanderers.

Can the Gap go top?

With their eye on top spot, expect the Gap FC to come out all guns blazing against Logan Lightning on Saturday night.

The top four battle between Lions and Moreton Bay taking place the night prior, the Gap could take first place with a victory if there is a draw or Lions loss at Lions Stadium.

A win would be the Gap’s seventh on the trot, while Lightning will want to make the most of home ground advantage in their third game in a row at Cornubia Park.

 

Eastern Suburbs v SWQ Thunder
Heath Park 1
Saturday, 7 July, 6.00pm

Easts host Thunder at Heath Park

Eighth-placed Eastern Suburbs host cellar dwellers SWQ Thunder, both teams coming off losses in Round 19.

Neither club are a chance of finals football, but after playing out a six-goal thriller in Round 7 – Easts prevailing 4-2 – fans could be in for a goal-scoring treat at Heath Park.

 

Mitchelton v Mudgeeraba Soccer Club
Teralba Park 1
Saturday, 7 July, 6.00pm

Mitchelton recorded a morale-boosting win over SWQ Thunder in Round 19 after three losses in a row while Mudgeeraba has won just twice in 2018.

Saturday night’s clash at Teralba Park is a chance for Mitchelton’s top goal scorer this season Fern Doyle to add to her tally of 13.
