The A-League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Perth Glory take on Sydney FC on Saturday. Both teams have struggled this season and will need to step up in this match.
Perth Glory are in 11th place in the A-League standings and have endured a dismal season so far. The Western Australian outfit suffered a 2-1 defeat against Adelaide United last week and cannot afford a similar result in this fixture.
Sydney FC, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The away side suffered a shock 2-0 defeat against local rivals Western Sydney Wanderers last week and have a point to prove this weekend.
