Perth Glory vs Western Sydney Wanderers Prediction and Betting Tips | 14th January 2025
Perth Glory will play host to Western Sydney Wanderers at HBF Park in the A-League on Tuesday. The hosts will hope to build on their previous win while the visitors will be looking to end their unimpressive streak.
Perth Glory vs Western Sydney Wanderers Preview
Perth Glory are enduring a dire campaign since the beginning of the new season, recording two wins out of 13 matches so far. They have lost nine times and drawn twice, which leaves them second from bottom in the standings with eight points. However, winning twice in their last five matches could be a sign of improvement.
The Glory’s new manager David Zdrilic is under pressure to pull the team out of the wreck his successor left the side in when he left. The hosts finished bottom of the table last season, leading to the dismissal of coach Alen Stajcic. Perth Glory will enter this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Auckland after three straight defeats.
Western Sydney Wanderers dropped five points in their last two matches, which widened the gap between them and the two teams above. The visitors sit in the eighth spot on 15 points, but have one game in hand that could help their push. They trail the top spot by nine points and must stop dropping points if they want to close the gap.
Wanderers are unbeaten in their last three away matches and will hope to extend that record as they head to HBF Park. Their last visit to the venue early last year was successful, with a 2-1 win over Perth Glory. Both teams are tied on head-to-head stats, with 14 wins, eight draws and 14 losses each in 36 clashes.
