In one of the matches of the Australian championship, Perth Glory will face off against Adelaide United. Will the hosts extend the victory march?
"Perth Glory"
For six games in a row, Perth Glory could not leave the field with three full points, but they were transformed and gave out an error-free series, which to date has three matches. The home field factor also helped, as Perth Glory played three games in a row at home, but it is not necessary to belittle the merits of the club, it showed really attractive and effective football. First defeated Melbourne Victory (2-1), then defeated Western United (3-0), and then defeated Western Sydney Wanderers (5-1).
Adelaide United"
There is a reason for joy and "Adelaide", which also could not win for a long time - five games in a row, and in the last round of the depressing series broke, breaking the resistance of the "Brisbane Roar" (1-0). It was not without good luck, because Brisbane Roar, having conceded in the 23rd minute, could have matched the score in the 38th, but did not convert a penalty. "Adelaide United", despite a large number of misfires, continues to remain in the playoff zone, sitting on the fourth line with 35 points.
Statistics and figures:
- Perth Glory won in three outfield games;
- Adelaide United have won one game out of the previous six;
- In the last five face-to-face battles, Perth Glory won four times.
Forecast
"Perth Glory" is still out of the playoff zone, but it is moving confidently towards it, having a 3-match winning streak. Given Adelaide's slump, there is every chance of extending the winning streak to four games, which I think will happen.
