Perth Glory vs Brisbane Roar Match Preview

Perth Glory is ranked in 12th place with 10 points and comes after an awful start in the new season. They have won just three out of ten games and it seems like they are headed towards another season like the one they had last year where they finished at the bottom of the table.

With only eight goals scored they have the worst offensive side in the league so far, averaging less than a goal per game while in the last five duels scored a total of just four goals managing to find the back of the net in three encounters. The point is that at home they have scored in each of the three duels this year and it is what makes me think they will try their best to have another solid performance here. Not just this, but also the fact they are one of the two teams yet to lose a game at home ground.

Brisbane Roar, on the other side, is ranked in 5th place with 15 points and comes in a much better run as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting two wins and three draws. For them it has been a big improvement considering that last season they were hanging alongside Perth Glory at the bottom of the table. Now not only they aim to remain in the play off zone but they have lost just once this season.

With 9 goals scored their offensive side is nothing special either but in the last five games they scored a total of five goals impressively finding the back of the net in each encounter. Having two veteran strikers like O'Shea and Austin will surely be of big help for them towards their quest.

In conclusion, I think that both teams can score at least a goal now. Perth Glory has got the home advantage here and they know they must make the most out of it considering their performances this season. Their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in three of the last five duels. Brisbane Roar seems to be a slightly better team and despite being on the road I guess they can punish their rivals who have shown an even worse defensive side.
