Melbourne Heart FC and Perth Glory will seek to break a three-game deadlock when the side’s meet at AAMI Park on Sunday.
From the heartbreaking last gasp Robbie Fowler penalty which denied the Red and White a debut win back in August last year to Alex Terra’s overhead wonder strike, which earned a place in end of season montages around the globe, encounters between the two sides have hardly been short of highlights or controversy.
After securing a strong 1-0 opening round win over Adelaide United on Sunday, the Glory have made a statement of intent, a declaration the team from the West is primed to relive past success and reclaim its place among Australia’s football elite.
But following the stellar showing of Heart’s attacking line-up against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday, the Red and White side of Melbourne appeared primed and well prepared to snatch its first win.

Danger Man
Andrezinho – After a stellar Hyundai A-League debut performance, the Brazilian midfielder immediately asserted himself as one of the stars to watch this season. With a bag full of tricks and pace to burn, the Heart rearguard will need to be diligent and at full attention to repel the Glory midfielder-s attacking forays.
