The A-League is back in action this week as Adelaide United travel to Western Australia to take on Perth Glory in an all-action fixture at the Perth Oval on Wednesday. The two teams were well below their best last year and will need to take it up a notch in 2021.
Adelaide United are currently in fifth place in the A-League standings and have managed four points from their two league games so far. The Adelaide outfit eased past Melbourne City in its previous match and will be confident ahead of this encounter.
Perth Glory will play their first game of the new A-League season this week against Adelaide United and will look to get their campaign off to a positive start. The Perth giants have made changes to their squad this season and will need to work hard in training to find a winning combination.
