Season ticket holders at HBF Park haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Perth Glory languishing in the 10th position so far. The guesting Western Sydney Wanderers will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Perth Glory have the fewest matches under the total-line (5) in A-League
- Western Sydney Wanderers have the most scored goals in the second half (27) in A-League
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the A-League. Thankfully the previous game, versus Western United, was also a home game here at HBF Park. The away team is better rested.
These teams have little in common geographically as Western Sydney Wanderers have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Perth Glory form and stats
Perth Glory have played 10 A-League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). Perth has recorded two wins in a row here at HBF Park, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
The Perth supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Western United in A-League and win 3-0. Attacking player Bruno Fornaroli bested all teammates in that game and got a match rating of 7.85 out of 10. Fornaroli scored one goal, dribled passed the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 34 successful passes (of 37 total).
Ahead of that match, Perth won a home game hosting Melbourne Victory (2-1).This is expected to be a close game, with Perth Glory perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Perth Glory as a small favourite), we find seven games. Perth has won one of these, drawn two and lost four.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Adelaide United are coming to town in three days.
The Perth fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 10 league matches. Perth have conceded 15 from these games.
Western Sydney Wanderers form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their A-League travels is 3 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats.
Wanderers had fun at their own home (HBF Park) last time out, beating Western United 5-0. Bernie Ibini Isei, James Troisi, Ziggy Gordon and Bruce Kamau scored. Midfield player James Troisi was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.94/10. Troisi scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times. As mentioned above, Wanderers was the only team on the pitch versus Western United in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task.
Before that, Western Sydney Wanderers secured a home win against Sydney with the score 3-2.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Wanderers playing away and similar expectations, we found 14 relevant matches. Results were four Western Sydney Wanderers wins, four draws and six defeats.
Wanderers has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 16 goals from 10 games. In the opposite end, Western Sydney Wanderers have conceded 17 goals in their away games.
