Western Sydney Wanderers face Perth Glory with renewed hopes under new coach Gary Van Egmond. Key predictions include a high-scoring game with over 2.5 goals and a probable win for the Wanderers, thanks to recent player additions and Van Egmond's fresh leadership. Kosta Barbarouses, the team's top scorer, is set to shine. Historically, the Wanderers have had a better track record against Perth, strengthening their chances. Despite Perth Glory's initial resurgence under Adam Griffiths, they're struggling with recent defeats, needing improvement in their offensive strategy.

Western Sydney Wanderers vs Perth Glory Preview


Western Sydney Wanderers have replaced Alen Stajcic with new coach Gary Van Egmond and I think the bounce factor can work in their favour. Back over 2.5 goals in an entertaining game with value on the hosts.
  • Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of the last five meetings
  • Over 2.5 goals has landed in Glory's last four games
  • Wanderers have won three of the last four meetings between the teams
  • Kosta Barbarouses is top scorer for the Wanderers this season with four goals
  • 2-1 has been the correct score in three of the last five meetings, while both teams saw this scoreline last week

WS Wanderers vs Perth Glory Head To Head

The Wanderers have prevailed in three of the last four games between the sides, but it was Perth who emerged triumphant by a 1-0 score in Round 7, with Sebastian Despotovski's first-half strike proving the difference.

Western Sydney Wanderers Finally Sack Stajcic

It's been a nightmare season for the Wanderers - they've registered a 3-3-7 record after 13 rounds and are languishing at the bottom of the ladder.

Western Sydney have managed just 10 goals for the season, which is by far the worst in the A-League. 

They've made moves to change that lately, with Hiroshi Ibusuki joining the club and making his debut last week, while former Scottish and Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser has also signed on for the remainder of the season.

Alen Stajcic won't be there to see any potential improvement in attack, with Gary Van Egmond stepping in and hoping to see some immediate improvement in this fixture.

The Wanderers couldn't build on their 1-0 upset win over Melbourne Victory on the road in Round 12, slumping to a 2-1 home defeat to the in-form Newcastle Jets last week.

Perth Glory Mini-Resurgence Over

Glory have registered a 5-1-7 record on the season, coming into this clash in 10th position on the ladder.

There was a mini-resurgence under new coach Adam Griffiths, but Perth come into this clash having lost four of their last six games.

Adam Taggart and Tom Lawrence have formed a nice combination up front, but they need some help if the men in purple are to mount a challenge for the top six.

Taggart put Glory ahead last week at home against Brisbane, but they couldn't hold on, suffering a 2-1 loss.

Verdict

The Wanderers are tipped to bounce back under new coach Van Egmond, with Kosta Barbarouses adding to his tally of four goals this season.
