Friday evening also brings us action from the Australian A-League when Brisbane Roar take on Melbourne Victory at Suncorp Stadium as the betting tips continue.
Brisbane Roar Prediction
Brisbane Roar will probably be relieved to be returning to home turf for this clash against Melbourne Victory as they’ve recently suffered back-to-back defeats away at Adelaide United and Newcastle Jets, losing 2-1 and 2-0 respectively although Friday’s tussle with the Victory won’t be easy by any means.
Overall, Brisbane Roar have managed just one win from their last eight matches in the Australian top flight which was a 2-0 home win over mid-table occupants, Melbourne City, and while they still remain unbeaten at home so far this season, they’ve also drawn to third from bottom Wellington Phoenix and bottom club Central Coast Mariners.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches on home turf but have lost their last two encounters at home to Melbourne Victory, losing 2-1 and 5-1 respectively. Forward Taggart (5 goals) looks the host’s best chances of scoring here.
Melbourne Victory Prediction
Melbourne Victory currently lie in second place on the A-League ladder and just two points behind early league leaders Perth Glory, but the visitors have a chance to steal a march on their title rivals as they make their way up to Brisbane this Friday evening.
Victory is an appropriate name for the visitors right now as they’ve won their last five league matches on the trot with wins accrued against Newcastle Jets, Central Coast Mariners, Sydney FC, Western Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United.
The visitors are also unbeaten on their travels so far this season with an early away record of 2-0-0 3/1 under their belts, and the goals have been supplied by new Japanese signing, Honda (4 goals) along with fellow midfielder Antonis (3 goals).
Brisbane Roar v Melbourne Victory – Betting Tips Verdict
Melbourne Victory are on a winning roll at the moment and they should at the very least avoid defeat in Brisbane on Friday night.
