"Home and away, Melbourne are on a winning streak of five. They're up to second in the table, and have struck four times in winning each of their last two on home turf"

Back Melbourne Victory @ 1.758/11 to beat Brisbane Roar

For the first time in 2017, Tobias Gourlay's headed Down Under for what he hopes will be a comfortable home win

Melbourne Victory v Brisbane Roar
Friday 08:50


Last night brought our first disappointment of the year, as a star-studded Maccabi Tel Aviv (Benayoun and Ben Haim were both on the score-sheet) demolished Hapoel Raanana 4-1.

We're bouncing back in Australia, where Kevin Muscat's Melbourne Victory play host to John Aloisi's Brisbane Roar in the big A-League game on Friday morning.

Home and away, Melbourne are on a winning streak of five. They're up to second in the table, and have struck four times in winning each of their last two at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.

After a good run, visiting Brisbane went down 2-0 at league-leading Sydney last time out on the road. They've scored only six times across seven away days so far and we expect their hosts to outgun them in this one.
