Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane Roar Prediction
Melbourne Victory started their league campaign with a goalless draw away to Central Coast Mariners in a game that saw them miss a penalty and receive a red card. They have followed this up with successive league wins and will be aiming to win three consecutive league games for the first time since May 2022.
Brisbane Roar suffered an early exit from the Australian Cup in the preliminary stage and have lost their opening two league games. However, Ruben Zadkovich's side have a good record in this fixture in recent years.
We are backing the home side to claim a routine victory and clean sheet.
