Melbourne City v Brisbane Roar: A-League Saturday preview

Winless in their last 11 games, Brisbane Roar are still searching for their maiden win of the 2024/25 A-League season when they travel to Melbourne City on Saturday.

With just two points from their opening 11 games and currently on a four-game losing streak, head coach Ruben Zadkovich is desperately seeking the answers needed to get the three-time A-League champions back to the top of the game.

Just getting one win under their belts would be a start for Brisbane but it won’t be easy this weekend, against Melbourne City side who are moving in the right direction.

City on the up

Back-to-back wins over Wellington Phoenix and Western United, 2-0 victories in both games, have propelled City up to second place on the A-League ladder behind frontrunners Auckland FC.

Losing just two of their 11 games this season in the league, City have shown themselves to be a tough team to break down.

On the back of two clean sheets against Phoenix and United, head coach Aurelio Vidmar is 3.00 to see his side win to nil against Brisbane this weekend.

Roar must make stronger start

These sides have already met in the A-League this season and it was City who managed to cruise to a 4-1 victory at Suncorp Stadium.

Andreas Kuen scored inside the opening minute to give Melbourne the lead and Yonatan Cohen’s first of two goals in the 18th minute gave Brisbane little chance of getting something from the game.

Even the goal Roar got in that game was an own goal from City’s James O’Shea in the 77th minute, before Steven Ugarkovic found the back of the net just five minutes later.

Zadkovich will know his side can’t afford another shocking start on Saturday, otherwise another long game might be in store for Brisbane supporters.
