Macarthur FC will be looking to script more history in their first-ever A-League campaign when Perth Glory visit Campbelltown Stadium on Friday.
The debutants have been fairly impressive in the Australian top-flight so far. They have won half of their 14 games in the campaign and sit fourth in the table.
They're firmly in contention to qualify for the Finals Series, the knockout rounds of the league, as they trail leaders Central Coast Mariners by just three points.
Macarthur are now aiming to clinch a third successive win for the first time.
Perth, on the other hand, are still struggling to replicate the glory of the 2018-19 season and languish seventh in the standings.
With five wins and losses each from 12 games so far, the Glory are two points off the last qualification spot for the Finals Series. However, they have a game in hand over defending champions Sydney FC in sixth.
