Perth Glory FC vs Brisbane Roar FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Perth Glory welcome Brisbane Roar to HBF Park on Thursday, January 16, with kick-off scheduled for 16:15, as two sides struggling for consistency meet in an important A-League fixture. With both teams sitting in the bottom half of the table, this clash offers a valuable chance to gain momentum and move away from the danger zone as the season progresses.

Head-To-Head Record (Last 5)

Recent head-to-head meetings slightly favor Brisbane Roar. Brisbane have won three of the last six encounters in all competitions, including a 3–1 win over Perth Glory in March 2025. However, Perth have also claimed important home victories in this matchup, and games between these sides are often decided by small margins.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Perth Glory FC Preview

Perth Glory come into this match ranked ninth, holding a 5–1–6 record with a goal difference of minus one after 12 matches. Their season has been uneven, but the most recent 3–0 home win over Central Coast Mariners offered a reminder of what they are capable of when things click. That result ended a three-game losing streak and should provide confidence heading into another home fixture.

Looking at their last five matches, Perth have picked up two wins and three losses. Alongside the Mariners win, they also beat Melbourne City 3–1 on December 28, but defeats to Melbourne Victory, Adelaide United, and Sydney FC highlighted ongoing issues with consistency. Perth have scored 15 goals and conceded 16 so far, showing they are rarely out of games but often fine margins decide the outcome.

At HBF Park, Perth will aim to control the tempo and be more disciplined defensively. If they can limit Brisbane’s chances in transition and take advantage of home support, they have a strong opportunity to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in weeks.

Predicted XI:

Sutton; Shamoon, Kaltac, Wootton, Sutton; Ostler, Bozinovski, De Abreu, Pennington; Taggart, Lawrence

Brisbane Roar FC Preview

Brisbane Roar arrive in Perth sitting fifth in the table with an identical 5–3–5 record after 13 matches. Despite their higher position, form has been a major concern. The Roar have lost four of their last five matches, including back-to-back defeats against Auckland FC (2–0), Melbourne City (1–0), and Wellington Phoenix (3–0). Their only win in that span was a narrow 2–1 victory over Central Coast Mariners on December 31.

Across those last five games, Brisbane have struggled badly in attack, scoring just three goals while conceding eight. Their season totals reflect similar problems, with only 11 goals scored in 13 matches, one of the lowest tallies in the league. Defensive structure has kept them competitive at times, but the lack of cutting edge in the final third has cost them points.

This trip to Perth is a chance for Brisbane to reset. If they can tighten up defensively and find more composure in front of goal, they have enough quality to trouble a Perth side that has also shown defensive vulnerability.

Predicted XI:

Bouzanis; Salas, Bility, Valkanis, Ludwik, McGarry; Vrakas, Klein, Maieroni, Hore; Long

PERTH GLORY FC vs BRISBANE ROAR FC
Winning Prediction

This shapes up as a tight contest between two teams desperate for points. Perth Glory’s home advantage and recent confidence-boosting win could give them the edge, especially against a Brisbane side short on goals and confidence. If Perth can strike first and stay organized defensively, they are well placed to control the game.
