After 10 games they sit in sixth place with four wins, three losses and three draws. Those matches have left them with 15 points, sharing that tally with two other teams but goal difference the key factor as to why they are not higher up the table. In the goals for Western has been striker Hiroshi Ibusuki. The 33 year old has put his name upon the scoresheet five times this season as well as providing an assist in the 10 A-League games so far. With Perth in such bad for, Ibusuki and the rest of the Western United players have a great chance of capitalising on this opportunity and make to most of trying to score a handful of goals to hope that goal difference isn’t still an issue for them in the future. This Friday could get embarrassing for Perth Glory is United are in top form/
