- Canberra United (W) are winless in their last five (D1, L4) and have lost their last four.

A-League Women 2026-2027 early pacesetters
Perth Glory (W) have made a better start to the A-League Women 2026-2027 season than Canberra United (W) and come into this game with a record of seven points from three games (W2, D1, L0) while the visitors sit 11th with no points from two games. United are on a four-game losing streak, so the Glory Girls should be able to take all three points on Saturday.
Stephen Peters has Perth Glory playing with a lot of control in the build-up to the attack, but also plenty of pragmatism in defence, and the 4-3-3 system allows them to change the tempo quickly. Rola Badawiya has been their livewire in recent weeks with three goals in their last five, but they have only scored five during that run.
Canberra United have been solid but not spectacular since their rebrand and the appointment of Njegosh Popovich as head coach in November 2022. The visitors have been a more physical side that has driven the ball forward with gusto, and they have been on the end of a few heavy defeats lately.
Canberra are the more likely winners
The odds are 2.08 for Canberra United (W) to win here and that makes little sense as Perth Glory are a better team and have made the better start to the season. Perth Glory have the better price at 3.15 and the draw at 3.45, so all of those markets are avoidable.
The head-to-head record between the sides is one win each in the last two meetings and with Perth Glory being solid at home in the A-League Women 2026/2027 (W1, D0, L0), scoring 2.00 and conceding 0.00, they will likely have to improve on that record to come away with the win. United have been poor away in the same competition (W0, D0, L1) and can only average 1.00 goal on their travels.
There should be goals and plenty of action
Glory Girls' recent form is a mixed bag, but the more recent results have been the sharpest, so that's what we will lean on for our bet here. Perth Glory (W) to beat Canberra United (W) looks a little tough, but United are in poor form so it's the best play in this game.
A stronger alternative is to take Both Teams to Score at 1.62 with over 2.5 goals also a live shout at 1.8. Perth have been better in attack in the early stages of the 2026/2027 campaign, but there is more pace and energy in the Canberra United (W) attack, which should lead to plenty of end-to-end play and goalmouth action on Saturday.
