Perth Glory vs Sydney FC Match Preview

In today's Australian A-League match, round 13th, Perth Glory welcomes Sydney FC at HBF Park.

After a 2-2 draw against Central Coast Mariners, Perth glory suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sydney Wanderers, remaining winless for 4 consecutive rounds. Currently, Perth Glory is ranked 9th with 13 points in the standings. So far, they had good performances at home, where they took the most of their positive results. Oikonomidis is the only missing for Perth Glory here. In the following round, they'll go up against Newcastle Jets on Saturday.

Sydney, on the other hand, comes from 2 home wins against Western United (2-0) and Newcastle Jets (2-1). They are just 7 points away from the top of the standings where currently Central Coast Mariners are placed, and also have two games in hand. The manager Steve Corica will prepare his best eleven today having no missings and one of the big advantages for him is that he had plenty of time to prepare his team. In the following round, Sydney FC will face Adelaide United on the road.

Perth Glory will try to return to winning ways and here they have a good opportunity, considering the home advantage. Against strong Sydney, they have the motivation needed but it won't be an easy task for them. However, they usually score with ease at home games and I expect them to get all three points here. The home side to win is my call.
