Brisbane Roar and Melbourne City will lock horns at Suncorp Stadium in the A-League on Saturday. The Roar are in 11th place, while the City Boys are sixth in the league standings after 24 games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Brisbane Roar have already earned five points more than they did last season, but they look destined to finish in the bottom three unless they can notch up a couple of wins in their final two games.
The Roar played to a 2-2 draw against Central Coast Mariners last weekend, which extended their winless run in the top flight to 10 games, dating back to January 16 against Perth Glory.
The hosts have only taken 13 points from their 12 home games this season. They have also scored just 12 goals in as many games, which is the fewest at home in the division.
Meanwhile, Melbourne City widened their advantage over seventh-placed Macarthur to four points last week and will guarantee their spot in the Finals series with another victory here.
Hearts defeated Wellington Phoenix 2-0 last week and are now unbeaten in their last five games. No team has earned more points (13) than the defending champions during this period.
However, the visitors away form has not been great this season, with just 15 points earned from 12 games on the road. They have also scored the fewest away goals in the A-League this term (12).
