Betting tip and prediction for this match between Western United and Perth Glory
The best prediction for Western United vs Perth in the A-League is Western United to win with over 2.5 goals. Perth Glory games have seen numerous goals, particularly in away matches, making them a team quite vulnerable at the back. With the current dynamics, it seems reasonable to expect that Perth may concede at least a couple of goals. On the other hand, without the pressure of fighting for survival, Perth has shown they can find the back of the net. Hence, backing a victory for Western United combined with over 2.5 goals appears to be the best bet for this encounter.

Match preview: Western United vs Perth
Western United and Perth will clash at Whitten Oval in a match of the 25th round of the A-League. The last encounter between these two teams on 22 November 2024 ended with a 1-3 victory for Western United. The record of their recent direct confrontations favours the home side, who have secured 9 wins and only 2 losses in their last 11 meetings. The most recent match on 3 January 2025 also saw Western United victorious, finishing 2-3. While currently positioned 2nd and 13th in the overall standings, it is worth noting that this match contrasts the 6th placed home form against the 13th placed away performance.
Team analysis: Western United
The home side currently sits in 2nd place with 38 points from 11 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses. In their penultimate match, they garnered a home victory against Wellington Phoenix, winning 4-1. Most recently, they triumphed against Newcastle Jets with an impressive scoreline of 2-6. Western United typically performs better on the road, accumulating 23 points away from home, scoring 31 goals while conceding 19, compared to 15 points at home with 15 goals scored and 11 conceded. Over the last 10 home games in the league, they have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, earning 15 points from a possible 30. However, defensively they have struggled, conceding in 9 of the last 10 matches, while their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of those games. In total, they have managed to overturn scoring deficits in 3 of the 9 occurrences when conceding first in 21 games. Notably, 4 of their 11 goals conceded at home have come between the 31st and 45th minutes.
Western United is in excellent form, having secured victories in their last 4 matches. Indeed, the only defeat in their past 9 games was at home to Auckland, with a score of 0-2. With a 7-point gap to Auckland and the prospect of closing that distance, this loss could prove crucial in the final analysis. However, their focus now is on taking on Perth Glory at home to earn a further 3 points and maintain the pressure on league leaders Auckland.
Team analysis: Perth
The visitors currently anchor the table in 13th place, having amassed just 11 points from 2 wins, 5 draws, and 15 losses. Their previous match ended in a home defeat to Brisbane Roar (1-3), followed by another loss on the road to Central Coast Mariners (3-1). Interestingly, Perth has performed slightly better away from home, collecting 6 points on the road compared to only 5 at home. In their last 10 away matches, they have managed only 6 points, thanks to a solitary victory and 3 draws against 6 defeats.
Perth has not won in their last 12 matches in this competition. Defensively, they have struggled, managing to concede in 8 out of their last 10 games while their attack has found the net in 7 of those matches. In 22 games played, they have conceded first in 12 instances and failed to recover any points from those situations.
Currently, Perth Glory finds themselves at the bottom of the table, tied on points with Brisbane Roar but significantly trailing Wellington Phoenix by 10 points. Their fate seems sealed, potentially finishing either last or second-bottom. After 3 consecutive defeats, facing Western United, a team in much stronger form, promises to be a challenging task for Perth, making it difficult for them to secure any points.
