The action continues in round 22 of the Australian A-League as Perth Glory and Sydney FC lock horns at HBF Park on Saturday. Ufuk Talay’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in seven straight games against the hosts and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
Perth Glory continued to struggle for results at the bottom end of the A-League table as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Melbourne City at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium last Saturday.
David Zdrilic’s side have failed to taste victory in five consecutive matches and have managed just one win in their last nine, losing six and claiming two draws since December 27.
Perth Glory have picked up just 10 points from their 18 A-League matches so far to sit bottom but one in the standings, four points above last-placed Brisbane Roar, having played three more games.
