Perth Glory

LLLDLL ⚠

Since a loss in their previous game against Western United in A-League action, Perth Glory will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Perth Glory managed 33% possession and 15 shots on goal with 3 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Perth Glory was Trent Ostler (52'). Western United had 14 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. Dylan Leonard (60') and Hiroshi Ibusuki (65', 76') scored for Western United.

Proving their appetite for eventful matches, we’ve had goals 26 times in the previous six matches in which Perth Glory have played, yielding a mean average of 4.33 goals for each meeting. Their opponents have managed 23 from this total. Nonetheless, we must now wait to see whether the trend shall continue on here in this match.

A look at their previous results shows us that Perth Glory:

• haven't beaten Adelaide United when they have played them away from home in the previous 4 league games. Not the best of away records.
• have not won away from home in their last 8 league games. A poor run.

Jordan Elsey (unknown injury), Ethan Cox (unknown injury) and Bailey O'Neil (unknown injury) are unavailable for Adelaide United boss Carl Veart.

We are thinking that The Reds may well go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, beginning the first half with James Delianov, Dylan Pierias, Bart Vriends, Panagiotis Kikianis, Ryan Kitto, Jay Barnett, Ethan Alagich, Zach Clough, Stefan Mauk, Ben Folami and Luka Jovanovic.

ℹ️ Team News: Perth Glory

Perth Glory manager David Zdrilic has to currently contend with reduced team options. Mustafa Amini (unknown injury) and Nikola Mileusnic (unknown injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that Glory might begin the game with a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Cameron Cook, Joshua Risdon, Luis Canga, Lachlan Barr, Anas Hamzaoui, Trent Ostler, Nicholas Pennington, Taras Gomulka, Khoa Ngo, Adam Bugarija and Adam Taggart.
