Perth did manage to secure their first point in the third round, drawing 0-0 away to Central Coast Mariners, but were defeated heavily by Melbourne City in the most recent round.
Western United, on the other hand, finished just one place above Perth last season, ending up in 11th position and missing the playoffs. Their 2024 campaign began with a 1-1 draw against Wellington Phoenix on the road, followed by another draw, 1-1, against Western Sydney Wanderers at home. However, they suffered two straight defeats: 1-0 at home to Melbourne City and 2-1 away to Adelaide United. After four matches, Western United sit 11th on the table with only two points.
