Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne City Match Preview

Brisbane Roar is ranked at 6th place with 34 points and comes after two wins a draw and two losses over the last five matches. They currently occupy the last playoff spot and will need to come out with a positive result out of here because Perth Glory is regaining terrain and sits only two points behind.

With 31 goals scored so far they have a pretty decent offensive side and in the last five matches they have scored a total of six goals, averaging at least a goal per game. They will need to improve their home record though as they won just 3 out of 10 games so far.

The offensive duo Danzaki 8 goals - 1 assist and Wenzel-Halls 7 goals - 3 assists are expected to play from the start here and will be of big help to try and get a positive result.

Melbourne City, on the other hand, is ranked at 1st place with 48 points and comes in a great run as they are unbeaten in the last five matches, collecting four wins and a single draw. They have already secured a ticket for the playoff semi finals and with two games left to play they have a chance to rest some of their players, in order to avoid injuries and give some game time to the ones who played less.

With 55 goals scored so far they have the best offensive side in the league averaging more than two goals per game and in the last five matches they have scored a total of 13 goals, which means almost three goals per game while managing to find the back of the net in each duel.

Maclaren has been their best scorer with 25 goals and 5 assists and he will probably play during the second half here. Still Noone 6 goals - 8 assists and Metcalfe 5 goals - 3 assists provide enough quality upfront.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Brisbane Road has got to aim for a positive result here and being at home they will push harder to score at least a goal as minimum. Melbourne City has been a goal scoring machine this season and I expect them to continue even now, despite how the result in the end might be.
