Brisbane Roar, Recent FormBrisbane Roar will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix, not least because of the valuable point gained. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Wellington Phoenix, who had 9 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Manager Ben Cahn will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 7 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 16 games.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Melbourne City, Recent FormThe Melbourne City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Perth Glory recently, that ended in a 4-2 defeat. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Perth Glory who had 14 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
It's been mixed fortunes for MCFC away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
Mathew Leckie is the man of the moment at Melbourne City right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
After a good 8-1 win for Melbourne City in this pair's last league encounter, Brisbane Roar will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Brisbane have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against MCFC. MCFC have a decent scoring record against The Roar in recent times, having hit the back of the net 14 times in the last 5 matches between the two. The MCFC defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit The Roar in the league, with MCFC conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, MCFC has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Brisbane in 6 games.
MCFC man Jamie Maclaren will be confident about extending his scoring record against Brisbane, having hit the netting 5 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With no real injury worries, Brisbane manager Ben Cahn will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
MCFC manager Aurelio Vidmar has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
