Perth Glory, Recent FormWith Macarthur FC sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Perth Glory won't feel totally dejected with their 1-0 away defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with 48% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 1 on target. By comparison, Macarthur FC managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Ruben Zadkovich will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Adelaide United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 8 of which were on target. Adelaide United had 5 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 11 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 12 games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home. The early part of the season has provided an unusually high number of draws for The Nix, with 4 draws in 8 league games.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Wellington Phoenix, Bozhidar Kraev will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Perth Glory who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Wellington Phoenix.
The Nix will be confident of finding the net in this one against Perth, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 8 encounters between the two sides. The Glory have struggled to keep Wellington at bay when these two teams have met at HBF Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Wellington in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Wellington has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Perth in 6 games.
Ben Waine will be feeling confident of netting goals for Wellington in this one against Perth with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
