Last Round - 12 - draw
Brisbane Roar v Sydney FC
Saturday 14 January - Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre, Brisbane - Local kick-off: 2pm (Live: ABC TV)
One of the traditional highlights of the Westfield W-League calendar will provide a fitting and dramatic finale to the league season. Bragging rights will, as always, be on the line, but so too is second place and an all-important home semi-final. Playing at home Brisbane Roar are in the box seat and need just a draw to hang on to their one-point margin over their rivals. The last time the pair met was way back in round one when Sydney had the better of a 1-1 draw on home turf. Much has changed since then with both teams boosted by the return of key personnel either from injury or overseas.
Brisbane though should be confident after a potentially season-defining 3-1 win on the road last weekend against Newcastle Jets. Defeat could have meant an unimaginable failure to reach the finals, however victory - such are the fine margins in this season’s Westfield W-League - left the Roar holding down second. The 3-1 win in Newcastle contrasted sharply with Sydney’s 2-1 defeat against the same opponent just a week earlier.
Much selection interest will focus on whether super sub Emily Gielnik is in the starting line-up after bagging her seventh goal of the season, six of which have incredibly after coming off the bench.
Despite winning 3-0 in Perth last weekend Sydney were held scoreless in the second half, in stark contrast with their 11-0 defeat of the Glory last month. Coach Alen Stajcic however fielded a somewhat experimental line-up, perhaps mindful of the suspensions hanging over the head of some important players in the lead up to the finals series.

Perth Glory FC v Newcastle Jets FC
Saturday 14 January - 6PR Stadium, Perth - Local kick-off: 4pm
This pair met just over three weeks ago with the Jets reasonably comfortable 3-1 victors a few days prior to Christmas.
Both teams enter this contest with differing goals. The home side will need at least a point if they are to avoid the wooden spoon for the first time, while three points are essential if the Jets are to tip Melbourne Victory out of fourth.
The Glory seem to have largely ridden out their mid-season slump which saw them leak goals at an alarming rate. Holding the free-scoring Sydney during the second half last week was a testament to the hunger and determination that evidently still looms large in the playing group. The Jets will make the arduous journey across the continent playing for their lives, although even a win would still mean they are relying on Melbourne Victory falling to defeat. Even a point for the Victory in Adelaide would see the Victorians advance on goal difference and Jets coach Clayton Zane believes his side’s hopes are minimal.
Newcastle are set to be without Gemma Pearce who has shin splints while Gema Simon has recently been struggling with tendonitis.
