Vukovic believes Glory are title challengers

Perth Glory goalkeeper Danny Vukovic has said that the morale in their camp is sky high and they feel like A-League title contenders already.
With just five games to go in the regular season, Glory occupy the third spot on the A-League points table and are almost certain to make the finals, although they can still drop out of the top six mathematically.
Perth Glory are 2.75 to defeat Brisbane Roar, who themselves are 2.50 to get the win. A draw between the two sides can be backed at 3.30.
Their next opponents are second-placed Brisbane Roar, who have four points more than Glory. If Perth can defeat the defending A-League champions on Saturday, then the gap between the two sides can shrink to just one point.
In spite of their amazing form of late, Glory coach Ian Ferguson has insisted that their immediate target is just to secure finals qualification. But Vukovic believes that his team has what it takes to challenge the big guns like Roar and Central Coast for the A-League championship.
Vukovic said: "We're sitting third, we're only four points off Brisbane so (with) a good result on the weekend we'll be sitting very pretty with four or five games to go.
"I think we can win the grand final. I think the Mariners are just a little bit too far (in terms of winning the premiership), but at the end of the day anything can happen.
"With the majority of our games at home, and the tougher ones of those games at home, we're confident."
