The A-League is back in action this week as Adelaide United travel to Western Australia to take on Perth Glory in an all-action fixture at the Perth Oval on Wednesday. The two teams were well below their best last year and will need to take it up a notch in 2021.

Perth Glory will play their first game of the new A-League season this week against Adelaide United and will look to get their campaign off to a positive start. The Perth giants have made changes to their squad this season and will need to work hard in training to find a winning combination.
