The action continues in round 23 of the Australian A-League as Perth Glory and Brisbane Roar square off in a bottom-of-the-table clash on Saturday. David Zdrilic’s men head into the weekend on a three-game winning run against the visitors and will be looking to extend this fine streak.
Perth Glory continue to wallow at the wrong end of the A-League table as they suffered a 4-1 thrashing against Western Sydney Wanderers at the CommBank Stadium on March 2.
Zdrilic’s side have now failed to win seven back-to-back matches, losing four and claiming three draws since a 1-0 victory over Auckland FC on January 11.
Perth have picked up 11 points from their 20 A-League matches so far to sit bottom but one in the table, three points and one place above this weekend’s visitors, who have two games in hand.
Elsewhere, Brisbane Roar needed a 68th-minute strike from 19-year-old Jacob Brazete to salvage a 1-1 draw against Adelaide United last time out.
With that result, Ruben Zadkovich’s men have gone five straight games without a win, losing twice and picking up three draws since January’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Sydney FC.
Brisbane’s underwhelming campaign has been due to their defensive vulnerability as they have conceded the second-highest number of goals this term (37), only behind Perth’s 45.
