Club football makes a comeback with a set of friendlies this week as Leeds United take on Brisbane Roar at the Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and will want to win this game.
Brisbane Roar vs Leeds United Preview
Brisbane Roar finished in 11th place in the A-League standings this year and have endured a series of difficult matches in recent months. The hosts are preparing for the Australia Cup final that is set to take place later this month and will need to make the most of these friendlies.
Leeds United escaped relegation by a narrow three-point margin last season and have several amends to make this year. The Premier League outfit eased past Blackpool by a 4-0 margin last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Brisbane Roar vs Leeds United Prediction
Leeds United have lost their most important players to European giants Barcelona and Manchester City this summer and face a daunting rebuild ahead of them. The Premier League side largely failed to meet expectations last season and will need to prove their skeptics wrong next season.
Brisbane Roar can pack a punch on their day but have been plagued by inconsistency so far this year. Leeds United are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
