Perth Glory are in ninth place in the A-League standings at the moment and have improved after a poor start to their campaign. The Western Australian outfit thrashed Western Sydney Wanderers by a 5-1 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this match.
Adelaide United, on the other hand, find themselves in fourth place in the league table and have exceeded expectations this season. The Adelaide outfit arrested its recent slump with a 1-0 victory against Brisbane Roar and will want a similar result from this fixture.
Perth Glory vs Adelaide United Head-to-Head

The previous meeting between the two A-League sides took place in February this year and ended in a 2-1 victory for Perth Glory. Adelaide United were well below their best on the day and will need to step up this week.
