Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory Prediction and Betting Tips | October 30th 2025 

Perth Glory will host Melbourne Victory at the HBF Park on Thursday in the third round of the 2025-26 Australia A-League campaign. The home side have endured yet another difficult start to their season and now sit rock-bottom in the table as they continue to search for their first win.

After squandering a two-goal lead in their 2-2 draw with Wellington Phoenix on opening day, Perth locked horns with Melbourne City in game two and were thrashed 4-0 after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box.

Melbourne Victory have not fared any better than their midweek opponents in the league this season, kicking off their campaign with a goalless draw with Auckland. They then suffered a disappointing 5-2 defeat to Newcastle Jets in their second game, marking a fourth consecutive winless outing against the Jets.

The visitors are level on points (1) with their midweek opponents and will be desperate to pull clear with a win on Thursday.

Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory Prediction

The Glory have lost two of their last three competitive outings after losing just one of their previous four. They have failed to perform in this fixture of late and could struggle on Thursday despite their home advantage.

Similarly, Big V are winless in their last four competitive games with three of those outings ending in defeat. They are, however, the stronger side ahead of Thursday's game and should come out on top here.

Prediction: Perth Glory 1-2 Melbourne Victory
