Western United vs Brisbane Roar Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29, 2024

Western United entertain Brisbane Roar at Ironbark Fields in the A-League Men on Sunday. The hosts will look to overcome their sluggish start, while Brisbane will continue their quest for a first win of the season.

Western have had impressive wins in their previous two matches. They beat Sydney 4-2 and Auckland 4-0 on the road to leap four places up to seventh, with 12 points.

The Melbourne-based side are eying an improved campaign this term after finishing second from bottom last season (11th out of 12 teams). In 2022, they won the A-League Men championship – their only top-flight title.

Brisbane, meanwhile, are yet to record a win this season after eight matches. They have drawn twice and lost six times, which leaves them bottom of the standings with two points. In their previous game, they lost 1-0 at home by Perth Glory, who sit second from bottom.

The Roar finished ninth last season, but they have A-League pedigree, winning the championship thrice and the premiership twice.
