The A-League action heats up as Sydney FC host Perth Glory at Allianz Stadium on Wednesday. With Perth winless in their last six meetings against Sydney since 2022, the visitors will be eager to break the streak.
Sydney showed resilience in their 2-2 draw against Newcastle Jets, following a dominant 3-0 win over Melbourne Victory. Sitting eighth with 14 points, they’ll aim to climb higher against struggling Perth.
Meanwhile, Perth Glory's woes continued with a 3-2 loss to Western United, leaving them second-bottom with just five points. Their leaky defense, conceding 30 goals so far, remains a major concern.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this A-League clash, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and all the latest team news.
