Melbourne Victory will be looking to secure a much-needed scalp when they host the Brisbane Roar on Friday night. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:40pm (AEDT).
Tonight’s fixture is poised to be a high-quality affair, as last season’s champions host the top of the table Brisbane Roar.
Both teams have been in strong form leading into this match, Brisbane not having suffered a loss since going down to the Wanderers in Round 9, and Victory keeping their loss column clear since Round 11.
It was close to a different story for the Victory last round however, after they just scraped home with a 3-3 draw against the Mariners, thanks for an injury time goal to Besart Berisha.
Brisbane also enter this match coming off a scoreless draw against Wellington.
In that match the Roar were clearly missing the firepower up front of duo Jamie Maclaren and Brandon Borrello. They will once again be without the pair tonight, making it hard to see how they will outdo Victory in attack.
Added to this is the Roar’s underwhelming road form against Victory – they have only won one and drawn three of their last six.
Can Brisbane make a statement in Melbourne, or will the reigning champs keep edging closer to the top four?
