On the 28th of December, as part of the "Australia. A-League" tournament, an important match will take place between Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar.
Four days ago, Melbourne City came off a scoreless draw against Melbourne Victory. In the current league table, Melbourne holds the 7th place out of 12 teams. Out of 9 games played so far, they've netted 3 wins, experienced 3 losses and ended up with a draw thrice. The team has scored 13 goals and conceded 16, putting them at a tally of 12 points right now. In contrast, Melbourne Victory holds the 2nd position in the league table. They've played an equal number of games–9, but boast of 4 victories and 0 defeats. Their scorecard reads 17 points.
Brisbane Roar faced defeat against Central Coast Mariners on the 21st of December with a scoreline of 0:3. In the A-League Men championship, Brisbane is positioned at 5th place. The team has played 9 matches, in which they’ve secured 4 wins, suffered 3 losses, and settled for a draw twice. Brisbane Roar's total tally stands at 15 goals both scored and conceded, and they’ve accumulated 14 points at the moment. Their last five matches concluded with two victories and one draw. Central Coast Mariners are placed 8th in the league table. They've also played 9 matches, out of which they’ve notched up 3 victories and endured 4 defeats. Currently, the team has 11 points.
Both rivals haven't had the best season start, but Brisbane, despite the loss in their latest match against a mid-tier team, might just hold on in the face-off against their league table neighbour. I'm backing Brisbane with a positive handicap.
