Perth Glory are going up against visitors Western Sydney Wanderers at HBF Park in the A-League clash on Saturday.
Perth Glory will play in this game after a 2-2 A-League draw against Newcastle United Jets.
In that match, Perth Glory had 39% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Perth Glory was Adam Taggart (72', 90'). For their opponents, Newcastle United Jets had 23 shots on goal with 10 on target. Clayton Taylor (40') and Lucas Mauragis (54') scored for Newcastle United Jets.
Fixtures involving Perth Glory have often been entertaining encounters of late with plenty of scoring expected. Over their past six clashes alone, a total of 22 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 12 of these being chalked up by Perth Glory.
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Melbourne City in A-League action, Western Sydney Wanderers will be aiming to make amends here.
In that game, Western Sydney Wanderers managed 36% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For their opponents, Melbourne City had 21 attempts at goal with 12 on target. Tolgay Arslan (30', 32'), Léo Natel (39'), Max Caputo (42'), Nuno Reis (72'), Jamie Maclaren (77') and Terry Antonis (82') scored for Melbourne City.
Demonstrating their involvement in productive encounters, we’ve seen goals 26 times in the previous six games in which Western Sydney Wanderers have taken to the pitch, making it a mean average of 4.33 goals each fixture. Opposition teams have got 16 of those goals. We will have to find out if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.
Coming into this contest, Western Sydney Wanderers haven't won against Perth Glory when they've played them away from home in the last 13 league games. An unbelievably poor away record.
Looking over their most recent head to head clashes going back to 30/04/2022 shows that Perth Glory have won 3 of these and Western Sydney Wanderers 2, with the tally of draws being 1.
A total of 10 goals were produced between them in these games, with 5 from Glory and 5 created by The Wanderers. That’s an average goals per game of 1.67.
The last league encounter between the two was A-League match day 13 on 20/01/2024 when it finished Western Sydney Wanderers 1-2 Perth Glory.
On that occasion, Western Sydney Wanderers had 69% possession and 17 attempts at goal with 7 on target.
For their opponents, Perth Glory got 16 attempts at goal with 10 of them on target. Stefan Colakovski (34'), David Williams (87') and Oliver Sail (96' Own goal) scored.
The referee was Ben Abraham.
Aleksandar Susnjar (Groin injury) and Antonis Martis (unknown injury) are unavailable for Perth Glory manager Alen Stajčić. Jarrod Carluccio will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
In an otherwise full-strength group, there is only the sole fitness worry for the Western Sydney Wanderers boss Marko Rudan to be concerned with. Jack Gibson (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be playing here.
It seems to us that Western Sydney Wanderers and Perth Glory may well end up cancelling each other out here.
There shouldn’t be much in it, and a high-scoring draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a 2-2 score at full-time.
