The Glory have won the Premiership once in 2018-19 and have been runners-up for the Championship twice. Coach Alen Stajcic left the team by mutual consent ahead of the new season, but new manager David Zdrilic hasn’t been convincing. Perth Glory will relish the prospect of claiming their first home win of the season on Friday.

Western United seem to have recovered from their 3-1 home defeat against Melbourne Victory on matchday six. They are undefeated since then, and will enter the upcoming game on the back of three straight wins, scoring nine goals. They have also won their last three matches on the road, scoring 11 goals.

The visitors have won four times, drawn thrice and lost thrice, which leaves them sixth in the standings with 15 points.

This means the visitors could make massive progress if they win but could also be overtaken by three teams that are currently behind them.
