The A-League is back in action with another set of important fixtures this weekend as Perth Glory take on Western United at the GMHBA Stadium on Saturday. The two teams have endured contrasting starts to their campaigns and will want to win this game.
Western United have managed only one point from their two games so far this season and have been well below their best. The home side suffered a 2-1 defeat against Melbourne City last weekend and has a point to prove in this match.
Perth Glory, on the other hand, played their first game of the A-League season earlier this week and emerged with a stunning 5-3 victory against Adelaide United. The Perth outfit does have a few problems to solve and will want to pick up three more points this weekend.
Western United vs Perth Glory Head-to-Head
Western United have played only two matches against Perth Glory in the A-League and have won one match against their opponents. Perth Glory have never defeated Western United in a league fixture and will want to improve their record in this match.
The previous meeting between the two teams last year ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory for Western United. Besart Berisha scored both goals on the day and will want to pull off a similar performance in this fixture.
