Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Looking to widen their buffer at the top of the A-League table, Melbourne City will make the trip to Brisbane Roar on Tuesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, while Brisbane Roar might have made a welcomed return to winning ways last time out, they have gained a reputation for their issues on home soil. In their 22 A-League matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 31 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 34 and opening the midweek fixtures holding a two-point buffer from dropping out of the top-six, it should be noted that The Oranges hold the second-best defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-1 win against the Newcastle Jets, Brisbane brought an end to their three-match winless run. However, it should be highlighted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen each of their last seven A-League home fixtures on the bounce finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a stellar purple patch, Melbourne City have romped their way to the top of the table. In their 23 A-League contests this season, they have recorded 15 wins, three draws and five defeats, scoring 55 and conceding 26 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 48, The Blues open the midweek fixtures sat holding a seven-point buffer over second-place Sydney. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against the Central Coast Mariners on home soil, Melbourne City are unbeaten in their last 10 straight A-League matchups, recording eight wins. However, it should be highlighted, with two of their last three contests finishing with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome in midweek.
