Sydney FC vs Perth Glory Prediction and Betting Tips - Odds, H2H and Preview

Sydney FC vs Perth Glory Prediction

Perth Glory are off to the Allianz Stadium to take on Sydney FC in round 12 of the Australian A-League. Going into this game the fourth highest scoring team in league, Sydney FC will be sure to take advantage of such a terrible defensive side and looking to extinguish Perth Glory with ease. With Perth Glory only managing one win in their campaign so far, have they got it in them to fight against a side who is not shy of scoring.

Key Stats

• Both teams going into this game have only managed one win from their last five, with that one game being Perth Glory’s only win of the season
• Sydney FC have scored 12 goals in their last five games while Perth Glory have only managed three
• Sydney FC have won four of the last six games against Perth Glory, with the other two results being draws

Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Sydney FC will be disgusted with how their season is going so far, with four wins from ten the Sky Blues sit eighth place in the league. Unbeaten in their last three, Sydney FC need more wins if they wish to climb up the table and a win in this one could potentially see them climb to within one point of fourth with a game in hand on the teams above.

Perth Glory have been woeful all season long. With one win from 11 games and the lowest scoring team in the competition, David Zdrllic could see his job at risk if this form is to continue. Forward Adam Taggart is really looking for some help from his teammates, with 5 goal contributions in the A-League, he has contributed to 71% of all goals scored by Perth this season.

Formation: 4-3-2-1 Predicted Line-Up: Devenish-Meanres; Courtney-Perkins, Gurd, Matthews, Grant; Segecic, Hollman, Cáceres; Ouahim, Lolley; Klimala

It has been a season to forget so far for Sydney FC as they have just been unable to pick up result which have seen them on route to have their worst finish in the A-League for over 10 years. However, scoring goals has not been a struggle for the Sky Blues who have racked up 22 goals in 10 games. With Douglas Costa still out through injury, Uruk Talay is likely to field the same side that managed a 2-2 to Newcastle Jets in their last game.

Formation: 4-4-2 Predicted Line-Up: Sail; Lisolajski, Mrcela, Lebib, Risdon; Ngo, Gomulka, Pennington, Ostler; Pearman, Taggart

Perth Glory have lost the ruthlessness they have shown the A-League through the last few years. Picking up their first win of the season after eight games, Perth are begging for some new year luck. New kid on the block Jaylan Pearman had a great debut for the club, picking up an assist and showing real promise to what has been a struggling Perth Glory attack.

Head to Head Stats

The last time Perth Glory walked into the Allianz, they got absolutely blown out and were sent home conceding seven goals to their one. Looking further back, Perth Glory have failed to win this fixture for almost three years. With Sydney forward Joe Lolley netting a brace in their last battle and being in fine scoring form this season, I imagine Perth are in for more of the same.

Betting Tips

With just how lacklustre Perth Glory have been this season and in a fixture they have struggled in for years, we can see the result going with the home side.

For that reason, our betting experts say that Sydney FC to Win and over 2.5 goals is the best value tip for this game. With odds at 21/40, a stake of £10 could see a return of up to £15.25
