The hosts are four points behind the penultimate Perth Glory, with two matches in hand. The first victory in the championship was achieved quite recently - on January 18, the team managed to win an unexpected victory over Sydney (4:3) in an away match. Ruben Zadkovic charges managed to interrupt a series of five defeats in a row, during which they managed to score only one goal. Nevertheless, after 13 matches, the club has only five points, which cannot please the fans of the club from Brisbane.

1.45Tip and bets
The hosts continue to occupy the last place in the standings and this situation clearly does not suit either the team or its fans. In the last match, they managed to win away from home against a strong opponent, which could be the starting point for getting out of the crisis. Brisbane Roar host an opponent from the bottom half of the ranking, so the main outsider of the league has every chance of a positive outcome. The guests have not beaten today opponent for a long time, we believe that the club from Brisbane will not lose now.
Our prediction is Brisbane Roar not to lose at 1.65
Bet on total
The visitors do not always achieve results, but their matches are always interesting to watch due to the abundance of scoring opportunities. The club is one of the most productive in the league and will certainly go on the attack in a meeting with the worst team in the championship. In the last four head-to-head matches, at least three goals were scored, which allows us to assume that today match will be rich in goals.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please fans with an abundance of over totals, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 2.03
