Perth Glory entertain Macarthur at Macedonia Park in A-League Men on Saturday (April 1).
Both teams have been plagued by inconsistency. Time is not on their side, with five rounds of games to conclude the regular season. Perth are in tenth place with 24 points, while the visitors are one point above them.
The Glory have won twice in ten games, drawing four times and losing as many. However, they will take confidence from their last home win heading into this game. Perth beat Western Sydney Wanderers 1-0, thanks to Aaron McEneff's exploits. They drew against Central Coast Mariners 2-2 in their previous home game.
Macarthur, meanwhile, have prevailed once in five games, losing thrice and conceding 12 goals against five scored. However, they produced an impressive display in their last game, holding table-toppers Melbourne City to a 1-1 draw. They appear to be a force to be reckoned with, going by that performance.
The Bulls, who finished seventh last season, are pushing to qualify for the final series, which comprises teams from the sixth spot onwards. They're three places and two points behind but could catch up. Macarthur got the better of Perth in their last three meetings.
