Head To Head

City have absolutely dominated this matchup over the last few years, winning the last 10 meetings between the teams dating back to 2017 - including a 1-0 triumph back in Round 13.

Melbourne City Form

After navigating a tricky period with various injuries to key players, City are finishing the season strongly and eyeing off a top two finish, with a win here temporarily lifting them above Western United on the ladder.

City come into this fixture having won six of their last seven home matches - and their only defeat in that period was a 1-0 loss to the Newcastle Jets in which they dominated possession and led the shot count 27-2.

Aurelio Vidmar's side produced a workmanlike performance to edge out Central Coast Mariners 1-0 last week at home, with Medin Memeti's goal in the 29th minute proving the difference.

Mat Leckie is still in doubt after battling a calf injury.

Brisbane Roar Form

It's been another disappointing season for Brisbane, who are 12th on the ladder with just two wins from their 21 games.

The Roar are only above Perth Glory on goal difference, but they have played two less games, so they should be able to avoid the wooden spoon.

Brisbane have suffered back-to-back defeats heading into this contest, going down 2-0 to Auckland before a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Macarthur FC last week.

Henry Hore is in doubt with injury, while Ben Warlund and Corey Brown remain sidelined.

Verdict

Melbourne City v Brisbane Roar

City have made AAMI Park a fortress lately, with their last 11 wins at home coming with a clean sheet. Back them to win to nil.
