Melbourne Victory, Recent FormMelbourne Victory will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their home outing against Macarthur FC. Their share of possession in that meeting was 47%, while racking up 25 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target, in contrast to Macarthur FC, who had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Tony Popović will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at AAMI Park. Having shipped at least a single goal in 20 of their 25 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They've been performing well at AAMI Park of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Brisbane Roar, Recent FormThe Brisbane Roar squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Sydney FC, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Sydney FC's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Given that they have scored in 11 of their away games this season, their travelling support will be feeling optimistic about a good result whenever they are on their travels.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 8 games.
On an individual basis, Jay O'Shea will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Brisbane Roar's last 6 league games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Brisbane Roar.
The Roar have managed to keep a clean sheet against Victory in each of their previous 2 visits to AAMI Park. In their past 5 meetings, Victory's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Brisbane will have to take their chances when they come.
Victory remains without a victory against Brisbane in their previous 4 league encounters.
With no real injury worries, Victory manager Tony Popović will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Brisbane manager Nick Green has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
