- 5' With 0 assists to his name this season, Marco Rojas is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Brisbane Roar FC.
- 10' Melbourne Victory FC is showing some good football. However, Melbourne Victory FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Joshua Brillante suffering a number of foals already.
