---------------------------------
Perth Glory
Perth Glory, coached by David Zdrilic, is preparing for the 2025-26 Isuzu UTE A-League season after finishing 12th in 2024-25. They lost 2-1 to Wellington Phoenix in the Australia Cup Round of 32 on July 27, 2025, showing attacking intent but defensive weaknesses. Their pre-season form includes 1 win and 2 losses, averaging 1.0 goal scored and 2.0 goals conceded. Key players include Adam Taggart (top scorer in 2024-25) and new signing Mark Birighitti (goalkeeper). Glory’s strengths are their home support at HBF Park and counter-attacks, but the departure of defenders Tass Mourdoukoutas, Yuto Misao, and Takuya Okamoto weakens their backline. They aim to use this match to prepare young players for the A-League season.
AC Milan
AC Milan, led by Massimiliano Allegri, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Serie A season after a 2nd-place finish in 2024-25. They lost 1-0 to Arsenal but beat Liverpool 4-2 in their Asia-Pacific Tour friendlies, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.5 goals conceded. Key players include Rafael Leão, Mike Maignan, Christian Pulisic, and Tijjani Reijnders, with a probable lineup featuring Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Alex Jimenez, Youssouf Fofana, Samuel Chukwueze, and Noah Okafor, though Luka Modrić is absent due to extended leave. Milan’s strengths are their attacking flair and midfield control, but their defense can be tested。
Head-to-Head
Perth Glory and AC Milan have no prior meetings, making this their first encounter. Friendlies between A-League and Serie A sides average over 2.5 goals, with 60% both teams scoring (BTTS), due to open play and squad rotations.
Predicted Score: Perth Glory 1-3 AC Milan
This friendly on July 31, 2025, at HBF Park, Perth, at 6:20 PM AWST (8:20 PM AEST, 6:20 AM EDT), concludes Milan’s Asia-Pacific Tour, per aleagues.com.au. Glory’s Taggart faces Milan’s Leão and Pulisic, with Glory’s home crowd (expected sell-out) testing Milan’s rotated squad. Milan are heavy favorites (-200 odds) over Glory (+450), with a draw at +300, per Sofascore.com. Trends (Milan: 70% over 2.5 goals; Glory: 50%) suggest goals. The 22°C evening and festive Italian Village atmosphere (from 4:45 PM) should keep cards low. Milan is likely to score through Leão or Okafor, with Taggart possibly netting for Glory. Milan’s quality and attacking depth should secure a comfortable win, though Glory’s home energy may yield a goal.
