Key Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar Predictions & Betting Tips

A wounded Melbourne City side will be shaking the rustiness off with a solid performance against the Lions on the 12th of March.

Melbourne City/Melbourne City

Our first Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar prediction took into account the head-to-head data. And it’s entirely in favor of the home team. With six victories for Melbourne City, two draws, and only two Brisbane Roar triumphs, you’d be right to call Hearts Brisbane Roar’s nightmare.

Furthermore, Melbourne City’s success in the league isn’t accidental as coach Rado Vidosic’s boys have lost only three games since the start of the season while Brisbane Roar barely have four victories in 19 games.

Jamie Maclaren to Score Anytime

Melbourne City’s goalscorer-in-chief failed to put his name on the scoreboard in the Adelaide United visit a couple of days ago but he’ll make up for it with a solid display against Brisbane Roar. He certainly had a few good opportunities to score but any striker is bound to have a quiet day sooner or later.

Nevertheless, our top Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar prediction is in favor of Jamie Maclaren this week. He has 18 goals to his name in A-League’s goalscoring department and he’ll be at his lethal best against Brisbane Roar’s leaky defense as well.

Melbourne City odds: 47/100 (1.47) – 67.0%

Draw odds: 73/20 (4.65) – 20.0%

Brisbane Roar odds: 28/5 (6.60) – 13.0%

It’s no wonder why Ladbrokes believe Brisbane Roar have only a 13.0% chance of winning at 28/5 (6.60) – their recent performance has been dreadful. Meanwhile, despite losing 4-2 against Adelaide United, Melbourne City have a whopping 67.0% chance of securing the three points and the 47/100 (1.47) odds can be considered a safe investment.

Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result

Melbourne City

Hearts’ 4-2 loss against Adelaide United wasn’t a fluke. It would be unfair to call it that as Adelaide United are one of the top teams around this season. However, there were many positives for coach Rado Vidosic and we’re certain that our Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar predictions will turn out to be successful after 90 minutes of football. After all, Melbourne City did not get to the top of the table with a comfortable six-point lead advantage by accident.

Predicted lineup – Glover (GK), Bos, Good, Lam, Reis, Tilio, Berisha, O’Neill, van der Venne, Leckie & Maclaren

Brisbane Roar

The Lions need to step up their game if they want to congratulate themselves on a job well done at the end of the season. With 20 points to their name, Brisbane Roar are getting dangerously close to the bottom of the table. And if we see them get thrashed by Melbourne City, the bottom of the table could be their reality as only two points separate them from Melbourne Victory.

Predicted lineup – Holmes (GK), Aldred, Trewin, Neville, Lofthouse, Akbari, Gomulka, Hore, Hingert, Scepovic & Mileusnic

Player to Watch: Mathew Leckie

Whenever Jamie Maclaren has a quiet day, Mathew Leckie steps up. Such was the case on the 18th of February when Melbourne City lost the derby against Melbourne Victory. Mathew Leckie’s fantastic brace wasn’t enough for Hearts to secure the three points but he was certainly the best thing we could pinpoint in that game. He’s one cracking player and we’re sure that he’ll be the player to watch on Sunday.
