Preview:

Perth Glory Women vs Canberra United Women will face each other in the Australian W League at Wanderers Football Centre, Sydney. Perth Glory had a rough ride in the league last season and they lost 11 matches out of 12. Their defence was quite poor and they were terrible at the front as well. In their three matches of the new campaign, they managed to collect all six points and are sitting in 5th place at the moment.

On the other hand, Canberra United finished in 4th place with 22 points last season but their new season has been disappointing as they are winless in the last three matches and have just one point in their account. In their last league fixture, they did a settlement with Brisbane at home with a scoreline of 3-3.

Top picks:

Alana Jancevski: Jancevskis ability to control the tempo in the field and her attacking endeavour make her an important player. She has opened her scoring chart with a goal in the match against Perth Glory followed by a penalty in her most recent match. She is one of the key players for Perth Glory as she enjoys crossing the ball into the opponent’s box, gives key passes to teammates. She is a regular starter for her side and a player to watch out for.

Michelle Heyman: Heyman has been a consistent performer for the side and scored 10 goals in 12 matches last season and was their highest goal scorer. She recorded two goals in her last two matches and has the power to cross any defence. She can change the game single-handedly and is surely a player to watch out for. She is an excellent bet for a goal contribution and is a must-have forward pick for your side.
