Western United vs Brisbane Roar Prediction

The home team come into this one on the back of a couple of very impressive victories. Western United pulled off a come from behind 4-3 defeat of Sydney in New South Wales before then defeating league leaders and previously unbeaten Auckland by four goals to nil away from home last weekend. They now face a Brisbane Roar side that remain the only winless side in the A League as they sit at the bottom-of-the-table with only two points collected thus far. Western United, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites to make it three successive victories.
