Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane: Top Free Betting Tips

Melbourne Victory and Brisbane go head-to-head at AAMI Park in Round 26 of the A-League. Both teams will be looking to improve on their bottom-of-the-table positions and make a final push for the unlikely playoff slots.

Match Result Prediction: Melbourne Victory to Win

Melbourne Victory have been solid at home, tasting just one defeat in their last six outings while adding four wins to their tally in the process. While Brisbane Roar has struggled on the road, going eight matches without a win in hostile territories. Victory will be hoping to take advantage of Roar's poor form and should have enough quality to secure a narrow win over their opponents.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Fans may not see too many goals in this A-League match at AAMI Park. Both Victory and Roar have been struggling to score recently, with the hosts scoring just six goals in their last five matches while Roar's tally is one better in the same period. Under 2.5 goals seems like a good bet in this match and should come true as the last five duels have seen this result.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Melbourne Victory

We are expecting a cagey encounter in this duel, one that will not have many clear-cut chances and is decided on minute details. Both sides are averaging slightly above one goal per match in their last five matches. This is in line with their prior meetings, all of which have been defence heavy with a five goals shared between both sides in as many games. Brisbane earned bragging rights with a 1-0 victory in the reverse leg and the Boys in Blue should repay in kind with a similar triumph in front of home fans.

Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane: Form, Recent Games, and News

Melbourne Victory Preview

It was a hard-fought win for Melbourne Victory in their last match against Macarthur at AAMI Park. They needed an injury-time effort from Lleyton Brooks to secure the three points on offer and will want to complete the job in regulation time against Roar. Their persistence paid off against the Bulls as their defence-held strong head coach Tony Popovic would have grilled them for a similar outing in Round 26.

Brisbane Roar Preview

Nick Green was handed the reigns of Brisbane Road on an interim basis and he couldn't stem their slide. Roar suffered a disappointing defeat in their own backyard and were helpless as Sydney FC registered their sixth away win of the campaign. As it stands, they are 11th on the points table, just one point above bottom-of-the-table Macarthur. Their defensive numbers are similar to Victory's with 33 goals conceded but have scored four fewer goals than their next rivals.
