Preview:
A huge game to kick start Round 9 of the A-League sees Sydney travel west to face the ladder leading Glory.
With a very even market so far, how you feel about this game will be determined by whether you put more weight into the last few seasons or recent history.
Perth’s last win over the Sky Blues came in February 2016 and they have been on the receiving end of some big losses since then.
Under Tony Popovic this season though, Perth have looked like a very different side compared to what has been trotted out the last few seasons.
With Sydney potentially short handed in defence thanks to injury, Perth look well placed to break their eight-game slide against the defending Premiers.
