Unfortunately, they were unable to consolidate their success - in the last match of 2024, the Perth club was defeated by Macarthur (0:3) on their home field.
The New Year also started with failures for Glory. On January 3, the team dropped points in a home match with Western United. By the 90th minute of the match with Western United, David Zdrilic team was leading with a score of 2:1, but in the extra time they conceded two goals and lost 2:3.

Perth Glory unexpectedly won the championship leader in their last home match, which can give confidence to the outsider.

We believe that the hosts will be able to impose a fight.

Bet on total
Western Sydney Wanderers are perhaps the most unpredictable team in the Australian A-League. It is always a pleasure to watch the away team matches, as they always have a lot going on. None of the last three matches of the Sydney club have seen fewer than four goals scored, and the match with Perth Glory will probably be a high-scoring one. Three goals were scored in the last two head-to-head matches. Most likely, the teams will not fall below this level.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.68
Bet on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please fans with an abundance of over totals, including the number of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 10.5 corners for 1.77
