You’d be lying if you said you saw it coming, but the Glory won their first A-League home game in almost a year on the weekend and they did it in impressive fashion, knocking off league leaders Auckland.
Not that there will be too much time to enjoy that achievement having only a couple of days to turn it around.
Western Sydney meanwhile had the bye last weekend which left them five points adrift of cross town rivals Sydney FC in the race for the top six.
Frankly, Perth’s win was impressive but one game is not enough to erase the memories of the season at large, especially knowing they have a think squad not equipped for matches on short rest.
The Wanderers should easily win this one, although they might not be at their regular free scoring best.

Wellington’s frustrating season took another turn for the worse on Saturday after blowing a late lead against Adelaide.
While there were some positives to come from that match, the Nix will be wondering how they will be able to turn it around.
Sydney flattered to deceive in their win on Saturday night and might present an opportunity for said fix.
At points, the Sky Blues looked like the second best team on the pitch against the struggling Mariners before a second half hat-trick to Aidan Segecic helped them to three points.
If the Nix can take some control of this match early, they are every chance of getting something from it, but the home side’s attack will need to be firing early.
