Brisbane Strikers and Redlands United will discover their next Westfield FFA Cup opponents on Wednesday night.

The draw for the Westfield FFA Cup Round of 16 will take place following the completion of Wednesday’s final round of Round of 32 matches, live on Fox Sports.

Strikers and Redlands are Queensland’s only remaining PlayStation 4 National Premier Leagues clubs in the Round of 16.

Both sides basked in the ‘Magic Of The Cup’ during the previous round – Strikers equalling a competition record with a six-goal win over Rovers Darwin, while Redlands posted the biggest ‘cupset’ in the competition’s history against Adelaide United.

They could be joined by Queensland’s sole Hyundai A-League side, Brisbane Roar, in the Round of 16 depending on the result of their clash against Perth Glory immediately prior to the draw.

Strikers fans will be anxious to see if their team finally draws a home match after playing interstate in four previous national stage Westfield FFA Cup matches.

Strikers have also never drawn a Hyundai A-League opponent in the competition’s previous three instalments.

Redlands will also be hoping for another home tie to build on a wave of goodwill from the Queensland football community following their historic defeat of Adelaide.

The national knock-out competition will conclude with the Westfield FFA Cup Final on November 29 at a venue to be determined.
