Season ticket holders at HBF Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Perth Glory languishing in the 9th position so far. The guesting Sydney will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Insights:
  • Perth Glory have the fewest clean sheets (0) in A-League
  • Sydney have the fewest conceded goals (11) in A-League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

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

The A-League is the top level of the Australian football league system. Seasons run from October to May. Ten teams play a regular season of 27 fixtures to create a league table winner and the highest placed teams qualify for a playoff. The league winner is called the “premier” while the playoff winner is the “champion”. There is no set system for relegation, unlike most leagues in the world.
