Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar prediction

It’s been a tough spell of late for Melbourne City, who have picked up just two points from the last 12 available to them. They need to get back to winning ways if they want to climb back into contention for first-place and will fancy their chances against a Brisbane Roar side who have lost two of their most recent three in the league.

Neither team have impressed much from an attacking point of view lately and this could turn out to be a turgid affair. Melbourne City are averaging less than a goal a game since the start of December and Brisbane have scored the least number of goals of any club currently in the top six. Therefore, back under 2.5 goals in this match.

Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar tip: Under 2.5 goals
