Brisbane Roar

LDLLLL 📉

Brisbane Roar will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-0 A-League loss in their previous game against Melbourne Victory.

In that game, Brisbane Roar managed 62% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 4 on target. At the other end, Melbourne Victory had 9 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Nishan Velupillay (37') and Jason Geria (76') scored for Melbourne Victory.

It’s been seldom in recent times that Brisbane Roar have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Brisbane Roar have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 13 goals during that time. We will see whether or not that trend will end up being continued on here.

Heading into this fixture, Brisbane Roar are without a home win in the past 4 league games. Fans are getting restless.

ℹ️ Team News: Brisbane Roar

Néicer Acosta (Leg injury) and Scott Neville (Cruciate ligament tear) will be missing for Brisbane Roar boss Ruben Zadkovich.

It’s our opinion that The Roar could make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this one with Macklin Freke, Antonee Burke-Gilroy, Hosine Bility, Ben Warland, Corey Brown, Waleed Shour, Jay O'Shea, Ben Halloran, Joe Caletti, Keegan Jelacic and Thomas Waddingham.

🗞️ Team News: Adelaide United

Thanks to a largely full-strength group, there’s just the one fitness worry for the Adelaide United boss Carl Veart to contend with. Jordan Elsey (unknown injury) won’t be in action.

It’s our belief that The Reds might utilise a 4-3-3 system using James Delianov, Ryan Kitto, Panagiotis Kikianis, Bart Vriends, Ethan Alagich, Austin Ayoubi, Jay Barnett, Stefan Mauk, Dylan Pierias, Luka Jovanovic and Zach Clough.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Adelaide United will probably create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.

Conversely, Brisbane Roar may well struggle getting on the scoresheet, although we do think that it’s probable they’ll be getting the chances to score, too.

Accordingly, we see a comfortable 1-3 winning score for Adelaide United at the end of the 90 minutes.
