Perth Glory

Sydney FC

Head-to-Head

• Sydney FC have won two of the last three A-League head-to-head encounters, although the last meeting was a 0-0 tie, which will be relevant for our Perth Glory vs Sydney FC prediction.
• There is a clash of identities in this game as Perth are playing at a high tempo with a pressing game and fast transitions while Sydney prefer a more patient, technical approach.
• In Ufuk Talay they have a coach who has got the team playing a possession-based game with full-back width and a structured build-up.
• Adam Griffiths has only been in charge for a handful of games at Perth, but has got the club on a winning streak and appears to be experimenting with the shape and transitions.

Key Players

• Alhassan Toure has four goals in seven A-League appearances and is Sydney FC’s biggest danger, having scored four in his last five games.
