Venue: Spotless Stadium (83500 seats)

Western Sydney Wanderers hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 30 points and a 8th position in the A-League table. Visiting Perth Glory holds 5th place with 34 pts.

Wanderers have less rest than Perth Glory in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a A-League game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Wellington Phoenix, was also a home game here at Spotless Stadium. The away team is better rested.

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.

The Western Sydney Wanderers supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Wellington Phoenix in A-League and win 1-0. Before that, Western Sydney Wanderers played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Central Coast Mariners.

Perth lost away at Adelaide United (3-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A loss against Wellington Phoenix was the result prior to that, in a home game.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Perth, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

After this away game Perth return home for a A-League game against Melbourne Victory. That game is only four sleeps after this.
