Melbourne Victory, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Melbourne Victory players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Wellington Phoenix. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 21 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Wellington Phoenix who had 11 attempts and 5 on target.
Manager Tony Popović will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 9 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 9 of their 11 games this season.
On an individual basis, Bruno Fornaroli will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Melbourne Victory's last 6 league games.
Brisbane Roar, Recent FormThe Brisbane Roar players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Newcastle United Jets recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 64% share of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United Jets, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ruben Zadkovich will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 7 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 18 games overall.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Brisbane Roar, Henry Hore will be looking to add more goals against Melbourne Victory in this match.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Melbourne Victory, losing 3-2 to Brisbane Roar.

In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at AAMI Park, Brisbane has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Victory in 3 games.
