Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane Roar Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals were scored in 70% of Brisbane Roar’s A-League fixtures this term.
• Each of Brisbane Roar’s last two away victories were secured with 1-0 wins.
• Melbourne Victory won just one of their last 10 league games.

Tight contest anticipated in Melbourne

Second from bottom Melbourne Victory, who won just once in nine games in the run up to the campaign’s postponement, restarted their season in typically disappointing fashion on Saturday in a 2-1 reverse at home to Western United.

4^th placed Brisbane Roar meanwhile, suffered frustration of their own in a surprise 1-0 loss at home to Adelaide in their first match back in the saddle, in a low-scoring tussle that was in keeping with a sustained pattern of tight fixtures involving Roar this term.

Under 2.5 goals were scored in a huge 70% of their total A-League matches this season, and their comeback loss against Adelaide was the eighth time in 11 games where two or fewer goals were scored.

We expect Wednesday’s tussle at the Venue Bankwest Stadium to be similarly low on excitement, and that in turn makes the under 2.5 goals market worth backing, while our correct score prediction backs Roar to eventually carve out a 1-0 win.

Each of Brisbane’s last two victories on the road were secured with 1-0 wins, and Robbie Fowler’s men, who hold the division’s third best defensive record, can lean on their solid foundations again here against a woefully out of form Victory outfit.
