Sydney FC

After their FFA Cup exertions in midweek, Sydney FC are back in league action this Saturday when they welcome Perth Glory to the Jubilee Oval.

The hosts were sent packing out of the FFA Cup in midweek by Central Coast Mariners who defeated them 0-1 at home to book their place in the finals of the cup.

The loss ended a run of four games without a loss (W3, D1) for Steve Corica’s side.

The Sky Blues have won nine points from their opening seven games and are sitting sixth on the league table.

A win in this game will keep them well within the top part of the table. 

Possible Sydney FC starting line-ups

Andrew Redmayne; Joel King, Ben Warland, Alex Wilkinson, Rhyan Grant; Anthony Caceres, Paulo Retre, Patrick Yazbek, Milos Ninkovic; Trent Buhagiar, Bobo.

Injured: None 

Doubtful: None 

Suspended: None

Perth Glory

After a five-week absence, Perth Glory returned to league action last Wednesday against Brisbane Roar.

As expected after such a long time of absence, the visitors were rusty in the night, eventually losing 1-0 to Brisbane Roar. 

They will now look to get back to winning way in just their second game this year

However, the visitors are on a poor run of form in the league, having won ten matches in all competitions. It will take a miracle for Perth glory to win this game, given their form. However, they will be desperate for that to happen despite their poor form. 

Possible Perth Glory starting line-ups

Liam Reddy; Jack Clisby, Darryl Lachman, Jonathan Aspropotamitis, Antonee Burke-Gilroy; Osama Malik, Brandon O’Neill, Antonee Gilroy; Andy Keogh, Bruno Fornaroli, Adrian Sardinero.

Injured: Luke Bodnar, Brad Jones

Doubtful: None 

Suspended: None

Sydney FC 2-1 Perth Glory
