James Troisi and James Donachie have enough ACL experience to know how tough Brisbane's task will be ahead of this week's semi-final in Melbourne
Melbourne Victory are aware of the advantage they will have in Sunday's A-League semi-final against Brisbane Roar, who are in Thailand this week for the AFC Champions League (ACL).
Roar will face Muangthong United on Wednesday night in a must-win ACL fixture before flying to Melbourne from Bangkok for their semi-final against Victory.
Victory expect Brisbane coach John Aloisi to rotate his squad for the trip to Thailand, with the likes of Arana, Tommy Oar and Jacob Pepper likely to start versus the Group E leaders.
