Perth Glory
- Perth Glory’s home form: W2, D1, L4 from 7 (0.86 goals scored on average, 1.00 goals conceded).
- Perth Glory have looked much improved since Adam Griffiths was appointed head coach in late October 2025.
Brisbane Roar FC
- Brisbane Roar FC’s away form: W2, D2, L3 from 7 (0.86 goals scored on average, 1.00 goals conceded).
- This Friday’s visitors, Brisbane Roar FC, have played in a completely different style to their hosts since Michael Valkanis took the helm in May 2025.
Head-to-Head
The contrast in style between these teams promises a chess match at HBF Park this week, as Perth Glory’s measured, possession-based play goes head to head with Brisbane’s relentless, high-intensity pressing.
Key Players
- Counter-pressing has been used selectively and disciplined, while talisman Tom Lawrence has been their chief outlet with 5 goals in 9 games.
- Justin Vidic has been their primary outlet up front with 3 goals in 12 A-League appearances.
Betting Insights
- With Perth Glory enjoying a slight uptick in form and the home advantage, I think the odds reflect the teams’ potential for this match fairly well, with Glory favourites at 2.19 and Brisbane at 3.36.
- Glory have won 1 and lost 2 of their last 3 home games, while Roar have won 1 and lost 2 of their last 3 on the road.
- With both sides averaging under a goal per game, the 1.82 for Under 2.5 goals looks a solid pick.
- Roar have conceded 1.00 goals per away game and Glory have scored 2.0 on home ground, so don’t expect this game to be a goal-fest and expect both teams to be compact at the back.
Prediction
Considering this is a tight rivalry with 5 games without a draw , Perth should just about edge a close, hard-fought contest.
