Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane prediction and match odds
Hopefully, the new year will bring many positives for these two clubs as they are among the most prolific Australian teams but they’ll have to battle it out at AAMI Park in Melbourne. Let’s see how this very interesting A-League clash is going to end.

Melbourne Victory to win
It’s hardly a secret that Melbourne Victory are slight favorites to grab the three points at AAMI Park on the 6th of January. However, coach Anthony Popovic’s boys will have to do their best to grab the full set of points as Brisbane are definitely no joke.
Melbourne Victory’s advantage in the head-to-head department is a fragile one. With four victories, three draws, and three losses, it’s fair to say that Melbourne are indeed the team that will probably grab the points.
Under 2.5 goals
We’re adamant that the two teams will produce another dull affair at AAMI Park on Friday as they strive to not lose this game. Both managers need points and they need them quickly as Melbourne City and Western Sydney already started pulling ahead.
The last three games between Melbourne and Brisbane all ended with under 2.5 goals with two of those games ending in goalless draws.

Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Melbourne Victory
Coach Anthony Popovic’s boys were unlucky to get brushed aside by Central Coast Mariners on the 31st of December. After all, Melbourne Victory had far better statistics in all departments – more total shots, more shots on target, more possession, more crosses, and more corners. Sadly, the only thing that counts is the goals and Central Coast Mariners were clinical with their finishing. A lovely Jason Cummings brace was the difference-maker in this game.
Predicted lineup – Acton (GK), Spiranovic, Geria, Broxham, Cadete, Brimmer, Marchan, Wilson, Oikonomidis, Nani & Folami
Brisbane
Brisbane continued with their robust defensive performances on the 30th of December when they faced Western United at Wyndham City Stadium. It was indeed an equal battle as both teams had their chances in front of goal but a somewhat mediocre finishing cost them three points. Carlo Armiento slid it past the goalkeeper to give Brisbane the lead and Aleksandar Prijovic’s well-timed 78th-minute shot was the equalizer.
Predicted lineup – Holmes (GK), Neville, Aldred, Chapman, Courtney-Perkins, Trewin, O’Shea, Knowles, Hore, Mileusnic & Armiento
Starting lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to watch: Nani
With one goal and two assists this season, it’s fair to say that newly-arrived Nani is getting used to Australian football quickly.
At the end of his career, the former Portuguese national team player is still quick and creative and he just might cause a headache to Brisbane’s defenders on the 6th of January. Sure, the 36-year-old winger isn’t as swift as he was with the Manchester United jersey a decade ago but he’ll undoubtedly want to prove that age is just a number.
