Perth Glory and Sydney are both riding high in the A-League with their 1st and 2nd positions respectively. Expect a great game!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

It's quite the trip for Sydney when visiting Perth Glory as the cities are 3900 kilometers apart.
