Where: Suncorp Stadium
Preview:
Two teams that have been very hard to get a read on this season face off in Saturday night’s feature match.
At times Melbourne City have looked like they can beat anyone, such as their opening round Derby win, while at other times, such as their 3-0 loss to Sydney, they have looked like a deeply flawed side.
Brisbane on the other hand are still searching for their first win of the season after three draws and a loss.
In every game they have been punished for slow starts before having to crawl back into the game as they did against Western Sydney in Mudgee two weekends ago.
While Roar fans would love to see them pick up all three points at home, City should have the quality to hold them to a draw in this one.
