Brisbane Roar have made a promising start to this new A-League season as the upcoming hosts occupy 5th place in the Australian top flight ladder having picked up two wins, two draws and slipping to just a single defeat to date.
The one loss came in the form of a 2-1 defeat over in New Zealand against Wellington Phoenix but points picked up in stalemates with Melbourne City and Auckland FC along with victories gained over Macarthur Rams and Newcastle Jets, both of which were on home soil, will give Michael Valkanis’ side plenty of confidence.
The wider picture shows Brisbane Roar have been handed just one defeat in their last 12 matches overall, while collecting seven wins in the process.
Melbourne Victory slumped to a third defeat in four games in the A-League following a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at old foes Sydney FC and the visitors now find themselves sitting in a lowly third from bottom position in the table.
Previous losses to Newcastle Jets and crosstown rivals Melbourne City have outweighed the minimal recent success of a 2-0 win on the road at Perth Glory and another tough assignment lies in store for Arthur Diles’ side on Friday night at Suncorp Stadium.
The visitors finished last season’s campaign with an inconsistent looking away record of 5-3-5 18/20 and they have been unable to find their feet so far this time around.
The Betting Verdict
Brisbane Roar have lost just once in the previous nine meetings against Melbourne Victory and the hosts look the more likely here in this upcoming encounter as well.
The Pick :
Brisbane Roar 2-1 Melbourne Victory
