The season is still fairly new and the Npl Western Australia table has to be read with caution. So far Balcatta find themselves in 8th position and Perth are placed 11th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Balcatta form and stats
Balcatta must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Npl Western Australia games here at Grindleford Reserve A. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
The home supporters saw a 3-3 draw versus Floreat Athena in the Npl Western Australia last time out and are looking for a win here. Heartbreak before that as Balcatta lost 1-2 at Armadale's place.
Opportunity lost for Balcatta in the Floreat Athena match as a lead 3-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
Balcatta have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Grindleford Reserve A with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Balcatta's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
