NPL Round 24 Preview: Pride out to delay Lions

August 10, 2018

In Round 24 of the National Premier Leagues (NPL) Queensland, Western Pride can delay Lions FC the premiership for another week with a win against Brisbane Roar Youth.

Elsewhere, Redlands United and North Queensland United are both out to make last ditch efforts to avoid relegation.

Strikers aiming to close the gap on fourth

Brisbane Strikers can move to within a point of a finals place with a win over crosstown Olympic FC.

The Strikers will be full of confidence after dismantling Sunshine Coast 8-1 last week, however they will have to be at their best if they are to upset third-placed Olympic who have won their last three games in a row.

Lions close in on the premiership

Days after finding out their FFA Cup Round of 16 fate, Lions FC and Cairns FC go head-to-head at Barlow Park.

Runaway ladder leaders Lions can clinch the premiership with a win if Western Pride draw with or lose to Brisbane Roar Youth at Logan Metro Sports Complex at almost the same time.

It will be somewhat of an upset if Cairns can stop the goal-scoring prowess of Lions, as the team from the far north have lost their last four games in a row.

A win will see them jump to safety as long as North Queensland United fail to win their match against Brisbane City FC on Sunday.

Redlands have lost their three in a row, while the Magpies have won their last two games, scoring nine goals in the process.

Second-placed Western Pride FC travel to face Brisbane Roar Youth at Logan Metro Sports Complex with the home side out to arrest a run of two consecutive defeats.

The premiership race will officially be over with a draw or a Young Roar win – if Lions also claim three points on the same night.

Moreton Bay United can further cement their hold on fourth position with a win over the struggling Gold Coast United FC.
