Brisbane Roar vs Perth Glory Prediction

Brisbane Roar come into this one on the back of a 2-2 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend in a game in which they came from 1-0 and 2-1 down. The Queenslanders are struggling down at the bottom end of the table with just two points collected from their opening seven matches. They now face a Perth Glory side that have started with two points collected themselves and the perennial strugglers are expected to spend the season down at the bottom end of the table, once again. Brisbane Roar, especially with their home advantage, are firm favourites for this one.
