Melbourne Victory vs Brisbane Roar Tips & Prediction
Melbourne Victory will be out to cement their top six status when they welcome the struggling Brisbane Roar to AAMI Park in the A-League on Saturday.
After a bright start to the season, the Roar have taken an almighty tumble down the ladder, losing six of their seven games so far in 2026 and slipping to eighth. Michael Valkanis has instilled an 'us vs them' mentality at Brisbane, but their physical brand of football has seemingly hit a ceiling, while the continued antics from both players and coach are getting a little tiresome. Meanwhile, Victory are in decent form with two wins from their last three and this looms as a great opportunity to establish themselves in a finals position.
Have to back Victory at home here. Brisbane are in terrible form, although they have boosted their squad with some good signings during the transfer window. Victory have also added some attacking firepower in striker Charles Nduka, who has impressed manager Arthur Diles in his two appearances so far. Nduka seems likely to start here and after grabbing an assist last week, looks good value to get among the goals against a poor Roar side. Backing Victory, both teams to score and Nduka to find the back of the net.

It was a slow start to the season, but Victory have won six of their last nine games, including a most-recent 3-2 triumph away to Wellington last week.
Sebastian Esposito, Nishan Velupillay and Louis D’Arrigo got on the scoresheet for Victory, while Japanese striker Charles Nduka impressed with an assist.
“I thought Charles was excellent,” Arthur Diles said of the club's new forward signing.
“He had a chance in the first-half where it was probably outstanding defending from the (Phoenix) player sliding in and blocking when we put him through one-on-one.
“They’re a very physical defensive line, and Charles was excellent against them. He matched their physicality, he competed really well, he worked really hard for the team, and the only thing that let him down was not getting a goal.
“Every thing else for me, he had a great game, and he’s only going to get better and better.
