Perth Glory vs Western United Predictions

• Perth Glory lost three of their five A-League games since the restart.
• Western United won two of their first three games since the resumption of play.
• Glory conceded 10 goals in their last three outings.

Perth looking porous

Perth Glory’s poor form since the restart continued on Saturday when they lost for the third time in five matches following a harrowing 4-0 home reverse to second from bottom Melbourne Victory.

That was the second time inside a three-match spell where Glory’s crumbling defence shipped four or more goals, and while their 5-3 battering at the hands of Adelaide was a bitter pill to swallow, their latest mauling by Victory would have tasted even worse.

Western United, meanwhile, put another three points on the board in a fine 5-3 triumph over Western Sydney Wanderers in their last outing, eventually carving out a win having thrown away a three-goal lead in the second period.

Enthused by their second triumph in three games since the resumption of play, we think a United side armed with more momentum than their hosts are worth backing in the double chance market this week at the favourable prices quoted, while our correct score prediction tips the visitors to eke out a 2-1 win.

Western United are still searching for their first clean sheet since the A-League kicked back into gear, however, while we expect Mark Rudan’s side to concede, there should be enough opportunities at the opposite end to outscore a Perth outfit desperately low on confidence.
