Perth Glory and
Adelaide United prepare for their April 12, 2025, encounter in the ever-competitive
A-League. Both teams are keen to turn around recent streaks of unfavorable results and climb the standings in this pivotal late-season contest.
Players on the Radar
Perth Glory's roster boasts several standout talents, with Adam Taggart leading the charge. Known for his impressive scoring prowess, Taggart's ability to find the back of the net remains essential. Cameron Heath Cook, a midfield dynamo, plays a crucial role in dictating the tempo. Oliver Sail, the reliable shot-stopper, offers stability between the posts. Trent Ostler, young but impactful, often sparks creativity in attack. Missing from the lineup are key figures Nicholas Pennington and Corey Sutherland, whose absence is felt.
Adelaide United’s squad features the experienced Ryan Kitto, a versatile player known for his adaptability across positions. Javi Lopez, a seasoned campaigner, anchors the defense with authority. Zach Clough, in midfield, injects flair and vision, while Jay Barnett holds a defensive midfield position with grit. Unfortunately, they’ll be without Isaias and Dylan Pierias, both pivotal to Adelaide's structure.
League schedule announced
A-League drops back into focus now, and I’m jotting down what’s coming up—few matches predictions worth chewing over. Teams are gearing up, no grand fuss, just that quiet hum before they lock horns. At all, here’s the outline next. Central Coast Mariners tangle with Macarthur Sydney, 20 April 2025 — two sides that don’t mess about. Sydney line up opposing Newcastle United Jets at 20 April 2025, await goals flying if they’ve got their shooting boots on.
That’s the lot laid out—enough to get your head spinning. A-League doesn’t lie—if you’re leaking goals in April, you’re in trouble .
Head-to-Head History
Over the years,
Perth Glory and
Adelaide United have been evenly matched, with their historical encounters reflecting a tight contest. In their last three meetings, it’s been a mixed bag:
Perth Glory 2-1

Recent Forms & Results
Perth Glory has experienced a challenging spell, failing to secure a win in their last five outings. They suffered consecutive defeats: against Western United (3-1), Central Coast Mariners (3-1), Brisbane Roar (3-1), Western Sydney (4-1), and a goalless draw with Sydney FC. It’s a period they’ll be eager to put behind them with a strong showing.
Adelaide United’s recent form isn’t much brighter, struggling defensively while searching for consistency. Their last five matches saw losses to Sydney (3-2), Melbourne Victory (5-3), and Macarthur (5-4), alongside draws against Brisbane Roar FC (1-1) and Auckland FC (4-4). Defensive frailties have been their Achilles’ heel.
Summary: Stakes and Struggles
With both teams enduring tough spells, this match takes on added significance.
Perth Glory’s attack, spearheaded by Taggart, faces a test against an
Adelaide United defense trying to plug leaks. Meanwhile, Adelaide’s midfield, led by Clough, must navigate a Perth side eager to regain momentum.
