Perth Glory vs Brisbane Roar Predictions

Perth Glory haven’t had the best of pre-seasons with five defeats and one win in their last six matches but after dominating the Minor Premiership last season Sunday’s hosts will still be considered many peoples favourites to claim first place again in 2020. Brisbane Roar have a good record against their hosts and have played well for the most part during pre-season but had a really poor campaign last time out in which they only managed to win four league games.

All of the stats point towards a win for Perth Glory and over 3.5 goals being scored on Sunday and we’ve backed a final scoreline of 4-2 in what we are expecting to be a very entertaining ninety minutes.

Despite not leading the head to head record, Perth Glory have won three of the last four meetings between these two clubs and have twice scored four times against Brisbane Roar during that period. Over 3.5 goals have been produced in four of the pairs’ last six encounters, so you can see why we’re backing at least four goals to be scored on Sunday.

Perth Glory dominated the Minor Premiership last season, finishing top by 8pts and only losing three of their twenty-seven matches, while Brisbane Roar finished second from bottom last season, only winning four games and losing seventeen. While the pre-season form of both teams suggest Brisbane Roar are the favourites to win this weekend, we would remind you that you often see teams play poorly in pre-season and then start the campaign with a victory, and vice versa.

The performances of Brisbane Roar in their recent friendlies does, however, suggest that we can expect goals in Sunday’s game as over 3.5 goals have been produced in four of Brisbane Roar’s last five matches. We have backed a 4-2 win for Perth Glory this weekend as we fully expect the visitors to get on the scoreboard, due to the fact that Perth Glory have only kept one clean sheet in their last six attempts and their guests have scored ten goals in their last three friendlies.

We’re confident that Perth Glory will win and over 3.5 goals will be scored in the process and have predicted a final scoreline of 4-2. Perth might not have played very well during pre-season but after dominating the A-League in the last campaign we are backing the hosts to get off to a winning start this Sunday. Brisbane Roar look to have improved during the summer but they were very poor last season and we can’t see them picking up any points this weekend.
