August 3, 2018

Olympic FC will be looking to extend their unbeaten run, while Lions FC can make it ten wins in a row in Round 23 of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) Queensland.

Elsewhere, the stakes are high as North Queensland United FC and Redlands United FC battle to avoid relegation.

Brisbane Strikers will be looking for a repeat of their Round 10 performance against Sunshine Coast FC as they host the bottom side at Perry Park on Saturday night.

The last time the two sides met, Strikers put seven past Sunshine Coast to run out victors at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

Strikers will look to extend their unbeaten run to four games, while Sunshine Coast will be hunting their second win of the season.

 

Moreton Bay United FC v SWQ Thunder FC
Wolter Park 1

Pride looking for repeat performance against Cairns

Western Pride will be looking for their fourth-straight win when they host Cairns FC at Briggs Road Sporting Complex on Saturday night.

Pride recorded a 4-2 victory last time the teams met, and will be looking for a repeat performance this round against a Cairns side that is without a win in their last four NPL Queensland games.

With Lions FC three points ahead, Western Pride will need a win if they are to remain within reach of the premiership but Cairns will be buoyed by their midweek 4-0 victory over NPL Western Australia club Armadale FC in the FFA Cup.

 

North Queensland United FC v Redlands United FC
Brolga Park 1
Saturday, 4 August, 7:00pm

Battle to avoid relegation

The battle to avoid relegation will be on when North Queensland United FC host Redlands United FC at Brolga Park on Saturday night.

It’s a high stakes game, with both teams dangerously close to the relegation zone and only one point separating them.

Last time the sides met, Redlands came out on top recording a 3-1 victory.

 

Magpies Crusaders FC v Brisbane Roar FC Youth
Sologinkin Oval, Mackay
Saturday, 4 August, 7:00pm

Can Brisbane Roar Youth FC make it two from two?

Brisbane Roar Youth travel to Mackay on Saturday night to take on Magpies Crusaders FC at Sologinkin Oval.

Magpies will bring some confidence to the game after a strong victory over Cairns FC last week, while Brisbane Roar FC Youth will be looking for their first win in three games.

The Young Roar can make it two from two with a victory over the home side, who they defeated 1-0 in Round 10.

 

Olympic FC v Brisbane City FC
Goodwin Park 1
Sunday, 5 August, 6:00pm

Olympic looking to extend unbeaten run

Olympic FC can extend their unbeaten run to seven games on Sunday night when they host Brisbane City FC at Goodwin Park.

Only four points behind ladder leaders Lions FC, third-placed Olympic still have the premiership in their sights and will look to deliver a repeat performance of their Round 10 victory against Brisbane City.

City remain undefeated since Round 18 and will hope to continue this form in the remaining rounds of the season.

 

Gold Coast United Football Club v Lions FC
Station Reserve 1
Sunday, 5 August, 6:00pm 

Can Lions FC make it 10 in a row?

Ladder leaders Lions FC will travel south to take on Gold Coast United Football Club at Station Reserve on Sunday night.

Lions can make it ten straight wins with a victory over the home side, who they defeated 3-2 last time the sides met in Round 10.

A win for Lions will see them strengthen their premiership chances, while Gold Coast will be searching for their first victory in four games.
