Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory Prediction

Perth Glory finished bottom of the table last term and their poor start to the current campaign could see them on course to match that.

Central Coast Mariners began their campaign in a four-goal thriller and a return to home turf against the league's basement side offers them a chance to register their first win of the season.

The home side tend to play on the front foot, offering opponents the chance to breach them, but Perth Glory are unlikely to take advantage. We are expecting Central Coast Mariners to claim a comfortable win.
