The A-League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Melbourne City take on Brisbane Roar at the Moreton Daily Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have been impressive this season and have a point to prove this week.
Brisbane Roar are in sixth place in the A-League standings and have been fairly inconsistent this season. The home side has managed only one victory in its last four games and will want to step up to the plate on Tuesday.
Melbourne City, on the other hand, currently find themselves at the top of the league table and have enjoyed an impressive campaign. The league leaders edged Central Coast Mariners to a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
