Form and standings can only tell part of the story when Caboolture and Brisbane Roar cross paths in the Friendlies Clubs, and pride alone should guarantee a contest. Caboolture will be keen to seize the initiative and build some momentum on home soil. Brisbane Roar's away form is hard to read, but they will arrive with the belief that they can trouble their hosts. The 24-year-old finished first in one of Arsenal's big pre-season testing challenges - a 1.4km run at full pace.

How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. Caboolture will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Brisbane Roar will back themselves to cause problems on the break. It isn't clear yet that this will definitely be a winger, with Maresca and sporting director Hugo Viana flexible over their attack.

Neither side is short on individuals capable of tilting the balance, and the duel between the two squads' chief creators could prove particularly pivotal. Set-piece specialists and aerial threats on both sides mean dead-ball situations could carry outsized importance.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With positions in the Friendlies Clubs table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. It is understood that his next move is most likely to take him abroad - and potentially to the Premier League.
