PERTH GLORY VS WELLINGTON PHOENIX PREDICTION
Perth Glory were rock-bottom last season and they have already started extremely badly this time around. The South Australians were hammered by six goals to one by a heavily invested in Macarthur side. They now face a Wellington Phoenix side that were runners’ up last season and started the 2024/25 campaign with a 1-1 draw at home to Western United last weekend. Despite what was a frustrating result, the New Zealanders remain favourites for this one in Perth.
