MLV vs BRB Dream11 Prediction: Melbourne Victory host Brisbane Roar in their first A-League encounter of the new campaign. Melbourne Victory are coming off their worst ever A-League finish so they will be desperate to do much better in this new campaign. Interim boss Grant Bebner secured the job on a full-time basis and has made several high-profile signings bringing in the likes of Callum McManaman, Rudy Gestede and Jacob Butterfield who will bolster the side significantly.

At least three goals per game were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Melbourne Victory have taken part. Opposing sides scored 13 times in these games while Victory managed to get a total of 6.
