The A-League returns to the fold with another round of fixtures this weekend as Brisbane Roar take on Perth Glory on Sunday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to step up in this match.
Perth Glory are rooted to the bottom of the A-League standings and and have endured a dismal season so far. The Western Australian outfit played out a 1-1 draw against Central Coast Mariners last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Brisbane Roar, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. The away side suffered a 3-0 defeat against Wellington Phoenix last week and will need to bounce back in this game.
