The Brisbane Roar Youth travels to Sydney this week looking to take their unbeaten streak to 7 games when they take on Sydney FC at Campbelltown Stadium on Sunday.

After seeing off a fast-finishing Melbourne Victory side 2-1, following strikes from Jacob McLean and Christopher Bush, second placed Brisbane now face a new challenge in a Sydney FC side buoyed after their first win of the season.

Head coach John Sime was extremely happy with the way his side-s performances have improved over the past few weeks, saying that their efforts at training are beginning to show.

ā€œWe are really starting to get it all together, our performances have been good. We have started to get our passing right and ball movement has been of a high quality; I have been impressed with how the boys are going,ā€ Sime said.

ā€œWe have set ourselves a platform now considering our performance against Melbourne, and now coming up against Sydney it is up to the boys to keep putting in quality performances.ā€

The match will be the second time Brisbane has played Sydney this season, following their round one fixture at home, where both sides shared the points after an exciting 3-3 draw.

Sime is confident his team can secure a result away from home, putting it down to his side-s ability to perform against big name opposition.

ā€œMelbourne and Sydney are two of the biggest clubs in the A-league and always put out a competitive side, as was evident with Melbourne-s late comeback on Sunday and Sydney-s win against Perth,ā€ Sime said.

ā€œWe managed to get the win at home against Melbourne however we have to play Sydney in Sydney; our boys are looking forward to it and are ready to go. ā€œ

While looking forward to starting the Roar Youth side-s run of away games with a win, Sime said that he would be content if his side kept putting in quality performances

ā€œIf they put in the performances they have been starting to show I will be happy. Even if we don-t get the result and the boys put in a great performance I would be happy with the effort they are putting in, however if you put in really great performances results have tend to go your way,ā€ he said.
