Friday, Perth receives Melbourne on behalf of the 25th day of the Australian championship. Perth Glory wants to clinch the best possible ranking before the playoffs. Melbourne Victory is no longer playing anything.
With 2 days left of the regular season, Perth Glory occupies 5th place in the standings with 6 points ahead of 7th place. The team is already guaranteed to play in the playoffs. For their return to the field, Tony Popovic’s men alternated the good and the less good (2 wins and 2 losses). Beaten twice in a row, they reacted last Tuesday by winning among the Wanderers of Western Sydney (1-3).
In great difficulty this season, Melbourne Victory is currently penultimate in the Australian championship with only 20 points taken in 24 games. Unable to access the playoffs, the partners of Ivorian defender Adam Traoré (ex Basel) have not performed well since the resumption of the season. They lost, at home each time, against Western United (1-2), Brisbane Boar (1-2), and Central Coast Mariners last Monday (2-3).
Perth Glory has to deal with the injury absences of important midfielders, Diego Castro (personal reasons) and Ikonomidis (injured). Uruguayan striker Bruno Fornaroli (32, ex Sampdoria) is the club’s current top scorer in the league with 13 goals.
For Melbourne Victory, the potentially starting striker Robbie Kruse is unavailable this Friday, injured. Barely behind, the team has conceded 7 goals in the 3 games played since the restart. The team lost its major offensive asset Ola Toivonen (ex Rennes) who joined Malmö this summer. On the last day, winger Marco Rojas scored twice.
The match will be played with a limited number of spectators.
Perth Glory has a great opportunity to pocket 3 additional points against Melbourne Victory who is only waiting for the end of the championship. Perth Glory Victory!
