“If we can create as many chances as we created against Western Sydney, if we can have 30-plus shots on goal (again), we’re probably going to win the game,” Vidosic mentioned.
“We just need to be aware of their transition moments. They’ve got some very fast players in their front line, and they don’t hesitate to play the ball over the top,
“We just need to be relentless and dominant in their half when we have the ball and our rest defence has to be spot on so we avoid those moments where maybe they can hit us on the counter-attack.”
However, Brisbane’s velocity benefit received’t be as sturdy following the withdrawal of the pacy Nikola Mileusnic, who has succumbed to a calf damage.

“He has the ability to play a number of positions,” Moon mentioned,
“We can play him higher up the park as an attacking midfielder, (and) he can play wide but also as a bit deeper so that is good for us.”
