In an eagerly anticipated club-friendly match, Brisbane Roar will host Auckland City. Football fans are looking forward to this exciting clash scheduled for 9:00 AM on August 3, 2025. Our Brisbane Roar vs Auckland prediction points towards a victory for the visitors, given their recent form and historical advantage.

Match Preview and Prediction

Auckland enters this match in strong form. They recently secured a spot in the Australia Cup quarterfinals and dominated the 2024/25 A-League Men season. This impressive run makes them the favorites against Brisbane Roar.

In contrast, Brisbane Roar has faced some challenges. They exited the Australia Cup in the early stages and finished a disappointing 12th in their league last season. These results put them at a disadvantage against a confident Auckland side.

Considering both teams’ current form and past results, we predict a 2-1 win for Auckland. We also expect an exciting match with over two goals scored.
