Dubbo junior Tratt will help kick-off the A-League finals on Saturday afternoon when the Glory meet Wellington Phoenix in an elimination match.

The Glory heads into the match having won just two of six matches since the competition returned from the COVID-19 lockdown.

One of those losses came against the Phoenix, the New Zealand side winning 2-1 that day last month.

Defender Tratt gave away a penalty in that much but despite the worrying form that resulted in the Glory finishing sixth on the ladder, coach Tony Popovic said none of that matters now the post-season has begun.

"I don't believe that when the kick-off commences tomorrow evening that anyone from Wellington or anyone from Perth Glory will care about what the results were prior to this match," Popovic said.

"This is the game that matters and we have to be ready for a knockout match."

Tratt started in Glory's most recent match, a 2-0 loss to Western United, having been a fringe starter for Popovic throughout the season.

The Dubbo Devils junior signed with the Glory for this season, having previously played in the A-League for Sydney FC and the Wellington Phoenix.

The Glory and Phoenix have previously met twice before in finals football.

Both those matches went the extra-time.

Saturday's match kicks off at 5pm on Saturday.
