Western United welcome Perth Glory for another interesting A-League fixture here at GMHBA Stadium.
Perth Glory could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a A-League game only three sleeps ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 3400 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Western United form and stats
A A-League draw at home so far for Western United. Last season their home statistics were 5 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats from 13 matches.
The fans are hoping that Western will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the A-League game against Melbourne City (placed 5th). Before that, Western drew at home versus Adelaide United.
This is expected to be a close game, with Western perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Western United as a small favourite), we find four games. Western United has won two of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Newcastle Jets are coming to town in one day.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Western United at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
Perth Glory form and stats
Carlo Armiento, Nicholas D'Agostino (2), Bruno Fornaroli and Neil Kilkenny scored in Perth Glory's previous match, the home game against Adelaide United that ended 5-3. A loss against Tokyo was the result prior to that, in a AFC Champions League home game.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Adelaide United was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Perth Glory playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Perth Glory wins, two draws and one defeat.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Perth manager R. García as the team has another away game coming up in only one day, this time against Western Sydney Wanderers.
Let's have a look at how Perth Glory performed last season in the A-League: They landed a 6th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 7 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 43 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 3 with 19/13 goals scored/conceded.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Western one win, one draw and Perth Glory zero victories. As for goals, zero matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
