Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 2600 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Perth Glory form and stats
2-1-2 (win-draw-lost) are the A-League numbers at home for Perth Glory so far this season. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Perth Glory after consecutive victories at their own ground.
A good away victory last time out for Perth Glory, who won 3-0 against Central Coast Mariners (placed 10th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Newcastle Jets in a game that was won 6-2.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Adelaide United form and stats
As the visiting team in A-League matches, Adelaide United have produced an overall stat of 2-0-3 so far.
