Perth Glory, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Macarthur FC will be viewed as a positive outcome for Perth Glory and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Macarthur FC, who had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Whilst manager Alen Stajčić will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 16 goals conceded in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games; however, they've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
