Both sides enter this match-up in different positions but the equation remains the same: win at all costs.
Brisbane Roar missed a golden opportunity to all but seal a finals spot when they fell to Sydney FC 3-1 at Lions Stadium.

ANALYSIS: The race for the Westfield W-League Finals: how the last two rounds decides the Premiers
While still sitting in third spot with 17 points, the Roar risk dropping out of the top four altogether if results go against them.
Such is the closeness of this Westfield W-League season, the Roar were sitting in second place a week ago, a win off the top, but a loss against Canberra United at Suncorp Stadium could put their finals hopes in jeopardy.
Canberra meanwhile were left frustrated as their game against Melbourne Victory was abandoned after 18 minutes due to lightning in Queanbeyan, leaving them three points off the top four albeit with a game in hand.
They travel to the Sunshine State knowing that a loss will effectively end their season so expect Heather Garriock to take the game to their orange-clad opponents.
