Matchday 3 in the A-League kicks off at Suncorp Stadium on Friday with Brisbane Roar playing host to Melbourne City. The Roar are seventh in the league standings, while City are top of the table. Let’s get into the match prediction!
Brisbane Roar kicked off the new season by beating Macarthur FC in the opening week but suffered their first loss of the campaign, going down 2-1 to Wellington Phoenix on Matchday 2.
That result marked the first time the Lions conceded two or more goals in a league game since early April, when they faced none other than their upcoming opponent and lost 3-2.
The hosts are now unbeaten in their last four home league games, but have only won three matches at Suncorp Stadium since the start of last season.
Meanwhile, Melbourne City have taken four points from their two league games this season and are one of only three teams that are still unbeaten this term.
The City Boys followed up a 2-1 victory over Buriram in the AFC Champions League with a 4-0 win against Perth Glory last weekend. Max Caputo bagged a brace for Hearts in the win over Perth.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last six away league games (W3 D3) and scored two or more goals in four matches during this period.

Our Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne City Prediction
Despite squandering a 1-0 lead against Wellington Phoenix last week, Brisbane Roar are a side on the up. They had a very impressive pre-season and have now avoided defeat in their last four home league games.
Melbourne City are the favourites in this match and are unbeaten over the first two weeks of the season. We fancy the visitors to take the points here, but we feel the hosts will put up a fight. Our Brisbane Roar vs Melbourne City prediction is BTTS.
