Sydney have performed better than Perth Glory so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
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.
These teams have little in common geographically as Perth Glory have to travel 3900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
