Brisbane Roar will invite Melbourne City to Suncorp Stadium in the A-League on Friday. The visitors are unbeaten in their two league games thus far and are at the top of the standings with four points. Roar have a win and a loss from two games.
The hosts got their season underway with a 1-0 win over Macarthur, but failed to build on that form and suffered a 2-1 away loss to Wellington Phoenix last week. Justin Vidic gave them the lead in the 42nd minute, but Wellington scored twice after the break, including a stoppage-time winner to overturn the deficit.
City have seen an uptick in form, and they are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions. They made it two wins on the spin on Saturday with a 4-0 win over Perth Glory. Max Caputo bagged a first-half brace, while Zane Schreiber and Kavian Rahmani added late goals in the second half.
