Western United, Recent FormWestern United will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-1 winners in their away fixture against Newcastle United Jets. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Newcastle United Jets managed 14 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 9 out of 10 home games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 league games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Noah Botić will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Western United.
Perth Glory, Recent FormThe Perth Glory squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-1 away defeat against Brisbane Roar, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Brisbane Roar's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Whilst manager Ruben Zadkovich will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 in the same period. They, for whatever reason, are unable to keep a clean sheet away from home, having not done so for the past 20 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Adam Taggart will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Perth Glory.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-1 win for Perth Glory.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at GMHBA Stadium, The Glory have been unable to break through the Western Utd defence and find the back of the net. In each of the previous 4 matches against Western Utd, The Glory have let in at least one goal. We have seen plenty of goals from The West when they play at home against Perth. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 12 goals, which is an average of 4 goals per game.
Playing at home, Western Utd have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Perth in the league.
Lachlan Wales will be feeling confident about scoring for Western Utd ahead of this encounter with Perth, having netted 3 goals in the past 3 league meetings between these two at GMHBA Stadium.
With no real injury worries, Western Utd manager John Aloisi will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Perth manager Ruben Zadkovich has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
