Perth Glory vs Sydney FC Prediction: We don’t expect many goals

On Saturday, Sydney FC will travel to take on Perth Glory, a matchup of two teams currently separated in the A-League standings by only goal difference. The away team comes into this match on the heels of a loss, while the home team, the Glory, has triumphed in each of their most recent outings to earn consecutive victories. Expert betting tips and odds are provided below.

The Perth Glory are currently riding a surge of confidence as a result of the fact that they have started off the 2023 season in the A-League undefeated and have won both of their most recent matches.

Midweek's 2-1 victory over Brisbane Roar on the strength of an own goal and a goal from Darryl Lachman followed a victory over Western.

The Glory have been able to start ascending up the league table as a result of their recent string of successful matches, and they currently have the same number of points as Sydney FC.

The current state of competition in the division is demonstrated by the fact that another victory this weekend would not only ensure that they would move above their rivals, but it also has the potential to lift them as high as fifth depending on the outcomes of other matches. Since Perth Glory haven't lost at home in the A-League yet this season, the team will believe they can do it.

Because their most recent game was one they would rather forget, the away team will be eager to move on to the next one as quickly as possible.

Sydney FC lost 1-0 despite having two late penalty kicks against a team that ended the match with nine players on the field.

Two shots in quick succession from Adam Le Fondre were blocked by the goalkeeper and then, in a fit of frenzy, sent sailing high over the crossbar.

In spite of the fact that scoring goals was a challenge in that game, Steve Corica's team has had the most trouble at the defensive end of the field thus far this season.

There is only one other team in the competition that has let up more goals than Sydney FC has so far this season, and this is a situation that they will need to address in order to improve, particularly given the fact that they are just three points away from being last in the standings.

It's intriguing to learn that Glory have been successful at home this season, winning three of their four most recent matches at their stadium. In a related turn of events, Glory have not suffered a defeat in any of their previous six home contests, beginning with the month of April 2022.

On the other hand, Sydney has dropped three of their previous four matches, and they have only won four of their 11 matches so far this season.

Five out of the last six times these sides have competed against one another, there have been under 2.5 goals scored. In four of their previous five matches, Glory have been held to under 2.5 goals scored by their opponents. On the other side, neither of Sydney's last two games had more than 2.5 goals scored in them. Because of this, there is a good chance that there will be under 2.5 goals scored.
