Perth Glory vs Western United Prediction
Perth Glory finished rock-bottom in the regular season of the A League last year. They begin this weekend sitting second-from-bottom with one point collected and just one goal scored from their opening four matches. They face a Western United side that come into this one on the back of back-to-back defeats to both Melbourne City and Adelaide United. They have notched just three times this season, too, so a low-scoring encounter is to be expected for this one this weekend.
Perth Glory vs Western United Tip: Under 2.5 goals
