Melbourne City will attempt to return to winning ways when they take on Brisbane Roar at AAMI Park in the A-League.
City are on a five-game winless run in all competitions, suffering two defeats in the process, while Brisbane have won just one of their last four assignments.
The two sides have already played out a 0-0 draw back in October and another low-scoring, tight encounter looks to be on the cards.

Melbourne City vs Brisbane Roar Tips Prediction
Best Bet: Melbourne City to win to nil @ 2.75
Melbourne have struggled on home soil of late, failing to win their last four matches and picking up just two points during this barren run.
However, they have a great record against Brisbane Roar, winning the last 11 meetings in Melbourne and not losing to the Roar at home since November 2010.
Brisbane’s sole win in their last three away fixtures came against 11th-placed Central Coast Mariners and the visitors may struggle to come out on top at AAMI Park.
Melbourne have kept a clean sheet in six of their last 10 A-League matches and another shutout victory could be on the cards.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.73
These two fought out a goalless draw at Suncorp Stadium in October, and another low-scoring encounter looks likely.
Both City and Roar are averaging a goal a game this season, and there have been fewer than three goals in 73% of City’s matches.
Six of Brisbane’s 11 A-League matches have also seen less than 2.5 goals scored.

Melbourne City to win
-
Max Caputo to score any time
-
Jay O’Shea to be booked
Pays 15.00
Melbourne City have won the last 11 meetings against Brisbane Roar on home soil and that impressive record can be extended.
Max Caputo is City’s leading goalscorer this season with four goals to his name and although he has failed to score in his last seven outings, he continues to get efforts away.
The 20-year-old is averaging nearly two shots per game and if he continues to let fly, it surely won’t be long before he finds the back of the net again.
Brisbane midfielder Jay O’Shea has picked up three yellow cards in his last five games and another caution could be heading his way.
