The upcoming clash between Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory holds significant implications for both teams. Mariners, standing seventh on the A-League ladder with a record of 7-6-8, are aiming to rebound from a recent defeat and keep their finals aspirations intact. In contrast, Perth Glory, positioned at 11th, seeks to evade the wooden spoon as they end their current streak of winless matches. Despite contrasting fortunes, both teams share a history of high-scoring encounters, suggesting a draw with over 2.5 goals as a promising prediction.

Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory Preview


Central Coast Mariners are unbeaten in eight of their last nine games, but do need a positive reaction to a heavy 4-1 defeat last time out. There is value on a draw, something Perth Glory have done in three of their last four games.
  • Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Mariners' last six games
  • Over 2.5 goals has landed in five of Glory's last eight games
  • Over 2.5 goals has landed in three of the last four meetings
  • Glory have drawn three of their last four games
  • Mariners have drawn two of their last four games
  • Three of the last six meetings have ended in a draw after 90 minutes
  • Nicolas Pennington has scored four goals this season & found the back of the net vs Mariners in R12

Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory Head To Head

This will be the third meeting between the teams this season. Central Coast dug out a 1-0 triumph back in Round 4 before Perth eased to a big 3-0 win in Round 12.

Central Coast Mariners Clinging To Finals Hopes

It's been a surprise turnaround for the Mariners as they come into this clash with a 7-6-8 record on the season and in seventh spot on the ladder.

Looking almost certainties to be in a scrap for the wooden spoon, Central Coast came from nowhere to put together an eight-game unbeaten run, defeating the likes of Victory, Macarthur, Wanderers and Brisbane.

The Mariners also ended the winning streak of rivals Newcastle in that period, but their unbeaten run was snapped emphatically by Melbourne Victory before the break, with Warren Moon's side suffering a 4-1 defeat at AAMI Park.

That loss leaves the Mariners trailing sixth-placed Macarthur by a single point with a game in hand.

Perth Glory Honeymoon Period Is Over

Perth head into this clash with a 6-5-11 record on the season and languishing in 11th spot on the ladder, just two points ahead of the Wanderers.

It was a bright start to the season as Adam Griffiths took charge, but the honeymoon period is well and truly over and Glory are now once again fighting to avoid the wooden spoon.

Such is the nature of the A-League, two wins in a row could propel Perth right back into the finals picture, but having gone seven games without a victory, it's tough to see it happening.

Glory have picked up a point in three of their last four games, including a most-recent 1-1 draw with reigning premiers City.

Verdict

Over 2.5 goals is tipped for this clash, with a draw the value outcome in the H2H markets.
