Moreton City Excelsior vs Perth Glory Preview

Perth Glory finished runners-up in the first two editions of the Australia Cup but haven't enjoyed cup runs since. That should change with the A-League side backed to win in the Round of 16.

Moreton City Excelsior vs Perth Glory Preview
Head To Head
Moreton City Excelsior Form
Perth Glory Form

Moreton City have had an impressive season in NPL Queensland and can continue their scoring form, but I don't expect them to stop Glory reaching the quarter-finals.

Moreton City have scored in 22 of their last 23 games in all competitions
Perth Glory have won their last 4 matches in all competitions
Perth Glory scored 4 goals in their last 2 Australia Cup matches
Perth Glory have conceded in 12 of their last 13 games in all competitions

Head To Head

This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

Moreton City Excelsior Form

Moreton City finished second on the NPL Queensland ladder, winning 15 of their 22 games and losing just three times.

They have scored an impressive 41 goals during this period.

With an NPL Queensland semi-final showdown with Peninsula coming up on Friday, the club have a huge week ahead of them.

Moreton City have won 10 of their last 12 games in all competitions, including a 5-1 demolition of Campbelltown City in the Australia Cup Round of 32, with Marquez Walters scoring a double.

Perth Glory Form

It was a nightmare season in the A-League for Perth last term, with the club finishing with the wooden spoon after winning just five of their 27 games.

Glory have brushed that aside and bring a four-game winning streak into this encounter, which includes taking the scalps of Brisbane Roar and Melbourne City in the Australia Cup.

Perth toppled Brisbane 4-2 to make it into the Round of 32 before edging out powerhouse club Melbourne City on penalties after their game ended 4-4 following extra-time. Abdelelah Faisal scored three goals in those two triumphs.

Verdict

Moreton City Excelsior v Perth Glory

Moreton are flying in NPL Queensland, but defeating an A-League club is a tough ask. At home, I'm backing Moreton to find the back of the net but Glory should have too much firepower.
