Defending champions Sydney FC will aim to reignite their struggling A-League season when they head north to tackle Brisbane Roar on Friday.

The Sky Blues have failed to replicate their fearsome form of previous years so far this season, with just three victories from their eight matches.

We say: Brisbane Roar 1-1 Sydney FC

Brisbane are tough to beat and strong at home. Sydney FC lack the killer instinct of previous campaigns, but they are no pushovers and will put up a fight, making a draw the most likely outcome.

Struggling Melbourne Victory will face off against neighbours Melbourne City in the A-League's Melbourne derby this Saturday at Marvel Stadium.

Victory are in desperate need of relief as the Australian giants sit at the bottom of the ladder with just one win this season.

We say: Melbourne Victory 1-1 Melbourne City

Victory are low on confidence and are having trouble finding the back of the net. City are in much better form and have the depth to match.
