After 35 matches unbeaten, Brisbane Roar have the opportunity to surpass a 74 year old record tonight when they meet Perth Glory at Suncorp Stadium. We’ll have minute by minute commentary and live score updates from 7.45pm AEDT.

Another week, another opportunity for the orange juggernaut that is the Brisbane Roar to roll on.

As has been the case from time to time, Brisbane looked to be up against it at half-time of their match against Newcastle last Saturday.

But like so many times before, Ange Postecoglou’s irrepressible team simply wore the Jets down with a mix of hard running and sleek passing, created chances, and killed the game off with 15 minutes still to play.

The Roar approach their football with a swagger and hard-wired belief that they will get a result, regardless of opposition or circumstance.

Nothing would suggest that tonight will be any different for Brisbane despite again missing Mitch Nicholls, who is on Olyroos duty.

But football can be a funny old game, and Perth Glory will head east to Brisbane with their come-from-behind 2-2 draw against Melbourne last Sunday still fresh in the memory.

Following his straight red last weekend Liam Miller will miss through suspension while former Socceroo Mile Sterjovski will also be unavailable due to the imminent birth of his third child.

The two midfielders join the likes of Dodd, Neville, Sikora and Pantelidis on the Glory’s list of unavailable players and make an already-daunting task that much harder.



As one of the A-League’s frontier marksmen Shane Smeltz will pose the greatest threat in front of goals, but coach Ian Ferguson will also be depending on a big game from captain Jacob Burns in the middle of the pitch.

Brisbane relentless pick apart opposition through the midfield and if Burns and his teammates don’t break that up it will be a torrid night for the Perth defence.

Ultimately, the cold hard reality is that if Brisbane turn up to play in the manner in which they have for the past 35 matches Perth’s performance will be largely irrelevant to the outcome of the contest.

There is a reason why this side are being spoken about as the greatest side in the history of Australian football and they should re-write the record books tonight, and deservedly so.

Is it even remotely conceivable that an upset is on the cards tonight? Or will it be business as usual at Suncorp Stadium?
