Brisbane Roar will be aiming to return to the winners circle and solidify their place deep within the top six when they travel to face Central Coast Mariners on New Years Eve.
After disappointingly falling to Macarthur FC before Christmas, an extended break for Michael Valkanis’ men will have them raring to go for what is an opportunity to finish the calendar year on a high.
WHAT WAS SAID
