Brisbane Roar will invite Perth Glory to the Suncorp Stadium in a mid-table A-League clash on Sunday.
The hosts registered their second win of the league campaign last time out, defeating the Central Coast Mariners 2-1 in their away game. Florin Berenguer broke the deadlock in the 19th minute for Roar but Alou Kuol pulled the Mariners level in the 31st minute.
Thomas Waddingham scored his first goal of the season in the 41st minute to restore Roar's one-goal lead. Both teams had a player sent off in the second half and midfielder Joe Caletti will serve a one-match suspension in this match.
The visitors fell to their second loss of the season in their previous outing, falling to a 2-0 away defeat to league leaders Western Sydney Wanderers. With just one win to their name, they are in eighth place in the league table, trailing the hosts by two places and three points.

Brisbane Roar vs Perth Glory Prediction
Roar have the chance to become just the fourth team in A-League history to register 200 wins when they take to the pitch on Sunday. They will look to achieve that incredible feat in front of their home crowd, so head coach Ross Aloisi is likely to field a strong starting XI.
Jonas Markovski and Aaron Reardon are sidelined through knee injuries and Joe Caletti is out through a suspension. Jack Hingert has been included in the squad after overcoming an injury and should start from the bench.
The Glory have lost their two away games this season, scoring just once while conceding four goals. They have just two wins in their last 13 away meetings against the hosts. They have a poor record in their travels, registering just one win away from home since February 2022.
David Williams, Adam Zimarino, Riley Warland, and Bruce Kamau are currently on the treatment table for the visitors, limiting the options for head coach Alen Stajcic.
Considering the home advantage for Roar and the visitors' struggles in their recent away games, we back the hosts to eke out a narrow win.
