Thumbnail

Sydney FC take on Perth Glory on Wednesday night at Bankwest Stadium (kick off 8:10pm AEST), in their Hyundai A-League Semi-Final.

Head Coach Steve Corica’s men will be out to seal a place in the Hyundai A-League 2020 decider as they face the West Australians, the lowest ranked Elimination Final winner. 

Ben Warland, Paulo Retre and Calem Nieuwenhof have all been promoted to the Sky Blues’ squad, with Michael Zullo the only absentee in an otherwise full-strength side.

The two sides last met at the Semi-Final stage in 2017, as the Sky Blues triumphed 3-0 at Allianz Stadium on the road to becoming their 2016/17 Record Breakers.

The Sky Blues are undefeated against the Glory in Season 2019/20, with the reigning Premiers and Champions recording a 3-1 win at NIB Stadium in November 2019, before a 0-0 draw in March 2020.
