Match Preview and Team News: Perth Glory (H)

Our Paradise hosts it’s final standalone Ninja A-League match of the season on Friday evening, as Perth Glory make the trip for a 7pm kick-off.

Emily Husband is looking for a response from her side after falling to three consecutive defeats, as they look to strengthen their grip on a finals spot.

The Mariners sit sixth, whilst Perth are six points behind in ninth place so will still consider themselves an outside chance for a finals spot, making for an exciting battle on Friday evening.

Just one change from Emily Husband sees Bianca Galic return from injury and replace Shadeene Evans who serves a one-match ban.

Galic scored a stunning goal against Perth in a 3-1 last season, but Perth’s most recent trip to Gosford saw them take all three points on New Years Eve 2023.

The Mariners came out on top in the reverse fixture this season, Jade Pennock capitalising on a goalkeeping error for the only goal of the game at HBF Park.

Only the two Sydney clubs at the foot of the table have lost more games than Glory (10) this season, but after a 3-0 win over Western United last week, they are still in with an outside chance of a finals spot, but they will need to fix one thing that has evaded them all season, consecutive wins, to stay within realistic touching distance of the Mariners in sixth.
