Perth Glory vs Melbourne Victory prediction, preview, team news and more | A-League 2019-20

The A-League is set to witness an early kick-off tomorrow as the Perth Glory hosts a struggling Melbourne Victory side at the Netstrata Jubilee Stadium. Both sides have experienced varying fortunes in the A-League this season and go into this fixture with a different set of objectives.

The Perth Glory is currently in the fifth place in the A-League table and can move to fourth place with a victory in Melbourne Victory. The home side is two points behind Brisbane Roar but has a game in hand and will try to pick up all three points in its own backyard tomorrow.

Melbourne Victory, on the other hand, has endured a miserable run of games over the past month and will want to start afresh against an imposing Perth Glory side. The away side is in tenth place in the A-League table and has struggled against quality opposition this season.
