Competition: Queensland Premier League

Market: Rochedale win

Odds: 4/7 @ Pribet

Knowing that they can climb to the top of the Queensland Premier League standings, Rochedale will travel to Cornubia Park when they meet Logan Lightning.

Starting with the hosts, while Logan might have signed off July with a 3-1 victory against the Redlands, it appears that was just a minor boost for the Lightning. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Broadhead last weekend as they had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate, Rick Coghlan’s side are still sat in the bottom-half of the table and they essentially find themselves in Queensland Premier League limbo. Getting August underway with what was a woeful 5-0 drumming at the hands of Magic United, Logan have mustered just a single win from any of their previous six appearances. Likewise, along with mustering just a single point from any of their previous three outings, the Lightning have also gained a reputation for their extended defensive issues. Including an action-packed 3-2 defeat against Wednesday’s guests on August 16th, Coghland’s side have notched just a sole clean sheet since the start of June.

As for the visitors, heading into their final Queensland Premier League showdown knowing that they can climb to the top of the table, Rochedale face what is a must-win showdown here. With their sights firmly set on booking an immediate NPL Queensland return, Daniel Vera’s side will be smelling a golden opportunity in midweek. Last seen over the weekend securing a routine 2-0 victory at home against Ipswich, the Rovers have mustered 10 points from their previous four appearances and the mood in their camp should be at a red-hot high. Getting August underway with a 2-1 win against the Brisbane Strikers, Wednesday’s guests will also be excited by their dominant record against Logan. Landing that action-packed 3-2 victory when they last met the Lightning on August 16th, they have now won all of their previous four meetings by an aggregate score of 12-5 and they are rightfully installed as a standout contender in midweek.
