Queensland play well but for all their efforts, wouldn't be able to score in brothel with a load of money. Mori may have something to say about that but Rudan should keep him in check. Sydney now has the confidence to build on for the rest of the season and they should win this one.

Sydney to win $1.70 @ Centrebet
Sydney -1 $3.20 @ Centrebet looks good too

Blackcrow and I echo your thoughts on this game.

The Roar are going to score at some stage in the foreseeable future, especially with Mori in the side.

10/22/2006	Queensland	0 - 1	Newcastle Jets	0-1	No	2	2
10/28/2006	Queensland	1 - 1	CC Mariners	0-1	No	2	X
11/5/2006	NZ Knights	1 - 0	Queensland	1-0	No	1	1
11/11/2006	Queensland	0 - 1	Adelaide Utd	0-0	No	X	2
11/17/2006	Queensland	0 - 2	Melbourne Vict	0-1	No	2	2

The above shows Queensland Roar’s last five games and believe it or not they have had 102 shots in those five games for one goal. They are averaging over 20 shots a game in their last five games but only average 0.2 goals per game. Defensively they have been fairly sound only conceding the six goals.

Amazing really, but Mori may be the difference.

I think Queensland, with the added potency of Mori will be able to score tonight, but expect Sydney to still win, so Over 2.5 Goals and Sydney to win I feel are both good options. The Roar-Sydney HT-FT Double may well be worth exploring too. Will decide closer to the game, but there is one bet I have already placed:

Total Corners - Line 10 - Over @ $1.87 (Sportingbet). Regardless of whether the Roar do or do not score, they are, as BJ points out, having lots of shots on goal, which of course, can lead to corners. Sydney too are a very attacking side and with players like Carney and Brosque on the wings are capable of attacking the flanks and making plays that result in corner kicks. Not really the type of bet that you can generally bet on without thinking it's a bit of a lottery, but with both sides so aggressive, and the likelihood of both teams having strong attacking spells during the game, I feel that this option is actually a good one for tonight.

Some good thoughts there Oscar, and you would expect a few corners to be honest.

Paul Ross's Corner ratings have predicted around 11.5 corners for the game, so that could be a good bet

Went myself for Sydney but at a lower price 1.65

[Hands Solo]

Ok, I'm on:

Over 2.5 goals @ 2.10 (Layed Unders @ 1.9 on Betfair)
Over 10 corners @ 1.87 (Sportingbet)
Sydney to win @ 1.75 (Sportingbet)

And a very very cheeky bet of Sydney to win 5-1 @ 101 (Sportingbet). Not one I expect to come off but Sydney are finding form and on the off chance they really hit their straps this is on.

[Beejayville]

Good Luck Gents

No radio broadcast God, so Oscar and myself should be able to keep the forum updated with anything you should need to know.

[godmato]

Thanx in advance Beejay! Let's hope for a good match and a lot of goals for Oscar

[Beejayville]

Game on in Sydney!!!

[Hands Solo]

Pretty uneventful start here. 0-0 after 10mins.

[Hands Solo]

Chad Gibson (Roar) has just been sent off.

[Hands Solo]

Gibson had previously been booked, but he has been given a straight red (not two yellows) for a studs up challenge.

[Hands Solo]

Penalty to Sydney after Reddy brings down a Sydney player. Yellow card to Reddy as well

He is like a mini-muscat!

How stupid? he just got a yellow card, and goes in and tries to take the Sydney guy out.

Chad Gibson is struggling for his place in the team, thats not gonna help!

Is that a penalty i here for Sydney?

[Hands Solo]

Converted. 1-0, taken by Talay

[godmato]

That will be a pretty good match from now on! I can see your over looking goo Oscar

[Beejayville]

22m Sydney 1 - 0 Queensland

Gibson undoes all Queenslands good early work. Sydney were starting to get on top tho anyways, and this is a great boost now, as they are only against the 10 men of the Roar

[Beejayville]

32m Sydney 1 - 0 Queensland

That 5-1 is looking a chance Oscar.

Three world class saves by Queensland's Liam Reddy is keeping Queensland in the game. Top goalkeeping

[Hands Solo]

8 corners (all to Sydney) in about 10 minutes. That's really helped my corners bet. Another Sydney goal would be great right about now. Carney just shoots over. Atm it's complete and utter domination by Sydney, they just cant get the 2nd goal
