The last-placed Perth Glory will invite Adelaide United to HBF Park in the A-League on Saturday. The hosts have registered two wins and have 11 points after 23 games, the same as 12th-placed Brisbane Roar. United have dropped to seventh place in the standings and have 33 points, the same as sixth-placed Sydney.
Glory suffered their fourth consecutive defeat last week as they fell to a 3-1 away loss at Western United. Jaylan Pearman equalized in the 55th minute, but Taras Gomulka's own goal restored Western United's lead, and they later scored in the 86th minute.
The visitors suffered a narrow 3-2 home loss to Sydney last week, their third straight defeat in the A-League. Archie Goodwin bagged a brace, and late drama ensued as Adrian Segecic scored a stoppage-time winner for Sydney.
