Get ready for some soccer action down at the Suncorp Stadium this Saturday as Brisbane Roar takes on Melbourne City in an A-League showdown!
Now, let's talk about the hosts first. Brisbane Roar hasn't been on a winning streak lately, but they did manage to break their losing streak in a thrilling match against Wellington Phoenix. Corey Brown stole the show with a last-minute goal, securing a draw for the Roar.
As for Melbourne City, they've had a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the league recently. They clinched a win against Adelaide United but stumbled against Perth Glory, with Tolgay Arslan seeing red in injury time.
Now, here are some juicy stats and key matchups to keep an eye on:
- These two teams have clashed 41 times since 2010, with Melbourne City holding the upper hand with 22 wins.
- Melbourne City has been dominating their recent meetings, remaining unbeaten in their last six league encounters.
- Remember that crazy 8-1 win Melbourne City had back in December? Yeah, that's still fresh in everyone's minds!
But hold onto your seats because here's the twist - Brisbane Roar has only managed one win in their last nine league games, and their defense has been leakier than a sieve, conceding a whopping 36 goals this season.
Now, onto predictions. Given both teams' recent struggles and Arslan's suspension for Melbourne City, we might be in for a nail-biting, low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Brisbane Roar 1-1 Melbourne City
