Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners Prediction and Betting Tips | 4th November 2023

Perth Glory will play host to Central Coast Mariners at HBF Park in the A-League on Saturday.

The hosts are struggling to get their campaign off the ground after two rounds of games. Perth Glory were held at home by Newcastle Jets 2-2 on matchday one before losing to Wellington Phoenix on their first away trip of the season. Perth Glory sit ninth with one point but could breeze into the top six if they succeed on Saturday

The Glory did not participate in the Finals series last season after finishing ninth in the regular campaign. The 2018-19 Premiership champions are hoping to end their four-year title drought but are yet to prove they are ready for the challenge. Perth Glory’s previous win over Central Coast Mariners dates back to July 2020.

The visitors appear to be in a more difficult situation. They lost their first two matches and currently sit second from bottom (11th out of 12) with zero points. Central Coast Mariners are under pressure to launch a convincing title defence. They finished second in the league last season and won the A-League Championship.

Mariners have also shown weaknesses on the road of late, losing their last three matches, with seven goals conceded against three scored. However, they are undefeated in their last three visits to HBF Park, winning once. They could take confidence from that record as they head to Perth.
