The Australian A-League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Perth Glory and Sydney FC go head-to-head at HBF Park on Wednesday.
Alen Stajcic’s men will head into the midweek clash looking to get one over the visitors, having failed to win their last four meetings since January 2022.
Perth Glory failed to find their feet on Sunday as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park in their last outing.
Stajcic’s side have now gone five consecutive games without a win, losing three and claiming two draws since their 3-2 victory over Brisbane Roar on February 17.
With 21 points from 22 matches, Perth Glory are currently 10th in the A-League standings, just two points above rock-bottom Western United.
Over on the East Coast, Sydney FC returned to winning ways in style as they edged out Central Coast Mariners 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium on Saturday.
This came after a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Wellington Phoenix on March 16 which saw their eight-game unbeaten run come to an end.
With 34 points from 22 matches, Sydney FC are currently fifth in the league table, level on points with sixth-placed Western Sydney Wanderers in the final playoff spot.
