In the 31st round of the A-League, Perth Glory will face Central Coast Mariners on February 7, 2025. The defending champions, who are experiencing a crisis, will try to secure an away win against one of the league's underperformers.
Our Prediction for Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners
"Glory" hit rock bottom last season, finishing in 12th place with just 22 points. "The Mariners," however, emerged as the best team, winning both the regular season and the playoffs, just like the previous year.
Currently, Central Coast Mariners are in a crisis. With just one point in six AFC Champions League matches, their domestic form isn't much better, winning less than a third of their matches. They even finished 2-2 with Newcastle Jets in their last game. Zdrilic's team remains an outsider, though not as hopeless as a year ago. Still, two-thirds of their games result in losses, like their recent 0-2 defeat to Melbourne Victory.
Perth Glory, on the other hand, have been struggling to score, averaging less than 0.7 goals per game. Defensively, they are also in trouble, conceding almost 2.44 goals per match. Meanwhile, the best team of previous years averages 1.2 goals scored but concedes over 1.6 goals in return.
