Perth Glory and Ulsan get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Group Stage fixture.
Ulsan could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a AFC Champions League game only three sleeps ago.
Perth Glory form and stats

Yoon Bit-Garam (2) and Kim Ki-Hee scored. It was a FA Cup defeat before that one as the away game against Jeonbuk Motors wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
