The Roar sit seventh in the A-League ladder, but can ensure qualification for the finals by winning their last two regular season matches, against Melbourne Heart and Sydney FC."It's a massive week to come," Stefanutto said after training on Wednesday.Both the Roar's remaining games are at Suncorp Stadium, and even if they failed to take all six points, they would still be in with a chance of overtaking sixth-placed Newcastle, who have one game less to play.With centre-back Jade North absent for the game against Melbourne Heart due to his Socceroos call-up, Brisbane will be forced to make changes to a defence that has only conceded two goals in the last five A-League rounds.After a four-match unbeaten run, Brisbane put in their worst performance in recent weeks in losing 1-0 to the Central Coast Mariners last Sunday, but they will take heart from the fact they control their own finals destiny.Home ground advantage for the clashes with Heart and Sydney FC would aid the Roar's finals ambitions, according to Stefanutto.Left-back Stefanutto says the Roar players perform at their best in the type of critical games coming up.I really hope that (the fans) come out and support us like they have in previous weeks, and especially against the Victory. The atmosphere there was fantastic, and it does help us, it gives us a lift, he said.And it's great isn't it? It's great for the A-League, the A-League is close this year, especially for those last couple of spots and even the Premier's Plate.
