One of the matches of the 19th round of the Australian A-League will be played on Sunday at Kayo Stadium, where Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory will clash. Here's the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Brisbane Roar
"The Roar" left a lasting impression in the early 2010s, clinching the A-League Champion title thrice and securing the Premier title twice. However, their performance gradually declined, leading to Brisbane Roar finishing eighth in the previous season. Consequently, the team missed out on the playoffs and risks repeating the same fate this season. Currently, Ross Aloisi's team occupies only the eighth position in the standings, trailing the top six by five points. In their last match, Brisbane played a 2-2 draw at home against Western United, despite trailing the underdog twice during the match. Thus, in the last five rounds, the team has won only one match, with two draws and two defeats.
Melbourne Victory
The team from Melbourne aptly lives up to its nickname, having secured numerous victories in both the regular season and A-League playoffs. Additionally, they achieved success in the 2021 Australia Cup. However, in the previous A-League season, Tony Popovic's team failed to perform satisfactorily, finishing second to last. Currently, Melbourne Victory occupies the fourth position in the standings, trailing the leader, Wellington Phoenix, by six points. In their last match, Popovic's charges suffered a 0-1 defeat at home against Central Coast Mariners. This defeat marked their second loss in the last five rounds, with only one victory during this period against the underdog Western United.
