Brisbane Roar, Recent FormBrisbane Roar manager Ruben Zadkovich will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Western United. During that encounter they had 63% possession and had 18 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 7 shots on goal.
Zadkovich will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 11 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games; however, playing at home this season, they have scored in 9 of their 10 games.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Thomas Waddingham will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Brisbane Roar.
Melbourne Victory, Recent FormThe Melbourne Victory squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Central Coast Mariners, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Central Coast Mariners, who managed 17 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Tony Popović will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 10 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 4 games on the road, the Victory travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
With 6 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Bruno Fornaroli has given the travelling Melbourne Victory support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Melbourne Victory who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Brisbane Roar.
Victory have struggled to break down The Roar defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 1 time in their last 5 meetings. Victory have failed score a goal in 4 of their last 5 league meetings with Brisbane. Playing at home, Brisbane have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Victory.
Brisbane has won the last 2 games they've played against Victory in the league.
With no real injury worries, Brisbane manager Ruben Zadkovich will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Victory manager Tony Popović has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
