Head coach Alen Stajcic has named his extended squad for Saturday night’s clash against Brisbane Roar.
After a narrow 1-0 defeat to Perth Glory on Friday, the Wanderers are eager to bounce back at home, where they remain undefeated this season.
In Perth, the team showed plenty of attacking intent and resilience, creating strong opportunities throughout the match, including powerful efforts from Alou Kuol and clever link-up play from Brandon Borrello to Angus Thurgate in stoppage time.
Even after going behind early, the Wanderers’ composure and determination were clear, particularly when Perth were reduced to ten men.
Brisbane Roar arrive off a dramatic 1-0 win over Adelaide United, which moved them into second place on the Isuzu UTE A-League ladder.
The Wanderers will look to extend their unbeaten home streak with another memorable night, combining attacking creativity with a solid defensive effort led by Anthony Pantazopoulos, and giving fans plenty to cheer for at CommBank Stadium.
