Perth Glory Coach Record – Ken Lowe 100% win ratio (6 wins, 0 drawn, 0 losses) – A-League & FFA Cup
KEY FACTS:
Goals
This match is the Jets opportunity for redemption after losing the same fixture at Magic Park last year.
There is a chance there will be no players appearing for the Jets from last years loss. The only players remaining in the squad from last year are Ben Kennedy, Ben Kantarovski and Brandon Lundy.
Similarly, Perth will send out a significantly changed line-up.
This will be Scott Milller’s first competitive hit out as the Jets manager. Only Branko Culina and Craig Deans have won their first competitive match as manager of the club.
Should Edgeworth fail to beat Melbourne City the Jets will have the chance to be the first club from the region to progress to the round of 16.
