Perth Glory v Melbourne Victory: A-League Saturday preview

Perth Glory will attempt to pick up just their third win of the A-League campaign when they entertain Melbourne Victory on Saturday night.

It has been a tough campaign for Glory so far and they are in danger of picking up the wooden spoon unless they can string some results together.

Home advantage could give them some hope, but HBF Park has hardly been a fortress this season.

Melbourne Victory are further up the ladder and a win over Glory will consolidate their place in the top six.

However they are well below where they want to be after picking up just one win in the last five games.

Nothing less than three points in the west will do for them as they attempt to close the gap on the top two.

Glory show signs of improvement

After becoming the whipping boys earlier the campaign, Glory have at least become more competitive as the season has progressed.

They recently beat high-flying Auckland FC 1-0 at HBF Park, before losing 2-1 against Western Sydney Wanderers in the next home game.

Glory did show character when fighting out a 2-2 draw at Newcastle last weekend, and should take heart from that result.

Adam Taggart was on target once again, while Lachlan Wales also grabbed the equalising goal on his Glory debut.

Glory have had issues at both ends of the park when scoring just 11 goals, while they have also leaked 37.

Their only other win this season was a 1-0 victory away at rock bottom Brisbane Roar.

Glory have lost the last four games against Melbourne Victory, and now would be a good time to snap the streak and pick up three points.

Victory look to kick on

Victory will be feeling better about themselves when picking up their first win in five games at the weekend.

They picked up a 2-0 win over arch rivals Sydney FC, but must back it up with another win against Glory.

Victory beat Glory 2-0 when the two sides met in December, while they have also won their last two trips to Perth, 3-2 and 4-0.

Indeed they have scored 11 goals over the last four games against Glory, and will fancy their chances of big win in the west.

They did keep a clean sheet against Sydney, but had conceded a total of eight goals in the three games before that.
