Perth Glory vs Western United Soccer Betting Tips
On Monday morning there will be a meeting between Perth Glory and Western United. A look at the odds of the best bookmakers draws a surprisingly clear picture, because the home side are the clear favorites in the match between two teams that rank directly one behind the other. For a success of the glory, odds of 1.56 at the top are currently offered, which imply a probability of occurrence of 63%.
The one-sidedness of the advertised Perth Glory vs. We are surprised by Western United betting odds for a prediction of the outcome of the game in that there are just four points between the clubs and there is a lot at stake on Monday morning. Fifth and sixth, respectively, both teams fight for important points with regard to the playoffs, provided that they take place.
The shape of the guests is quite impressive, as the Melbourne-based club not only won the last two games, but also scored eleven goals (!). In connection with the fact that the home side have not won since the beginning of February, the duel hides Perth Glory vs Western United the value in the tip of the supposed underdog.
Perth Glory – Statistics & current form
Last year, Perth Glory experienced perhaps the most bitter defeat in the relatively young history of the club (founded in 1996). After a fantastic regular season, in which the Popovic eleven with the most wins (18) and the least defeats (three) achieved first place, they only failed in the Grand Final in their own city with 4: 4 after penalties at Sydney FC .
According to those responsible, Glory would like to start a similar run in the current season. Before that, however, the playoff participation must first be fixed. Perth is currently in fifth place and is seven points ahead of position seven, seven games before the end of the regular season.
The possibly final decision towards Post Season could be taken by the last year’s finalist on Monday. The prerequisite would be a home win against the direct table neighbor, who would even let the purple and white climb to fourth place. The process is by no means easy, however, as the current condition is anything but good with just one win from the past seven matches.
Glory with just one win from their last seven league games
The last victory Glory celebrated in early February. Since then there have been four games from which only two dots jumped out. Last week, however, there was at least a respectable draw in the new edition of the 2019 Grand Final with the leader Sydney. At home, the most recent duel with Melbourne City was lost 2: 3. It was the third bankruptcy in the ninth home game of the season. Last season, as mentioned, there were three losses in 27 games.
The self-confidence is therefore not at the boiling point and the matter of course, to let little burn at home, has been lost. In the last three matches at HBF Park alone, experienced keeper Liam Reddy, who will play his 300th A-League match on Monday, had to go seven times. Between the Perth Glory and Western United, a prediction for the guest is therefore very close, also considering the high odds.
Probable lineups of Perth Glory:
➱ Reddy – Mrcela, Grant, Wüthrich – Meredith, Kilkenny, Juande, Franjic – Chianese, Castro – Fornaroli
➱ Coach: Popovic

Western United – Statistics & current form
In 2018, eight applicants set out to join the A-League as the eleventh club. In the end, the contract was won by the Western Melbourne Group, which sent the Western United Football Club into the race for the first time in 2019/2020. Few experts would have thought that the newcomer would find his way around the closed league so quickly.
The green-blacks are currently in sixth place in the table. United is in the middle of the fight for the playoffs. The fact that coach Mark Rudan’s team actually claims to move straight into the championship round underpinned them on the last two matchdays.
At home against the Central Coast Mariners (6: 2) and in Adelaide (5: 1), the Melbourne club celebrated two sensational victories with which they could not be expected in advance, as the WUFC had previously had three of their own without any success Hit remained. However, we believe that the self-confidence of the last 180 minutes prevails and that the euphoric newcomer can also surprise the last year’s finalist.
Western United is one of the best away teams in the A-League
The solid away balance also speaks for this. United was able to win four of the previous nine guest appearances (two draws, three bankruptcies). The green-blacks only conceded ten goals, which corresponds to the third best value in the A-League. In 2020, however, the spell of the first away win has not yet been broken, it dates from December 13, 2019.
In terms of quality, the team of Coach Rudan, who once earned his money as a professional at Alemannia Aachen, does not need to hide. Especially on the offensive, the club from the west of Melbourne has a high individual class. Besart Berisha and Alessandro Diamanti together scored more than half of all goals. In addition, the Italian veteran Diamanti with seven assists is one of the best providers of templates for the entire Australian top floor.
Probable lineup of Western United:
➱ Scott – Imai, Durante, Uskok – Pain, Pasquali, Lustica, Risdon – Diamanti, Burgess – Berisha
➱ Coach: Rudan
