The Central Coast Mariners and Perth Glory are set to compete for a place in the Australia Cup main draw. Perth Glory, although finishing last in the A-League, ended their season on a high note with two wins in their final three games. In contrast, the Mariners struggled, winning just one of their last fifteen matches. With Glory's recent positive form and Mariners' inconsistent performance, the match promises a competitive showdown. Glory might have an upper hand considering their winning streak towards the season's end.

Central Coast Mariners vs Perth Glory Preview


Having missed out on the finals, these two sides must now play-off for a place in the Australia Cup main draw.

Perth Glory picked up the wooden spoon in the A-League, but did end the season with two wins in their last three games. They offer some value to defeat Central Coast Mariners, who ended the campaign with three defeats in four games.

  • Central Coast Mariners have lost 3 of their last 4 matches
  • Perth Glory have won 2 of their last 3 matches

Head To Head


These two teams met three times in the A-League this season. The first two meetings ended in draws before the Mariners won 3-1 most recently in March.

Central Coast Mariners Form


The Central Coast Mariners had a nightmare title defence in the A-League, finished 10th and missing out on the finals. 

The Mariners won just one of their last 15 games with the solitary victory come again against last-placed Perth at the end of March.

Central Coast subsequently picked up just one point in their final four games, that coming in a 2-2 draw against Macarthur.

They also lost 1-0 to Melbourne City, 6-0 to rivals Newcastle Jets in a horror show and signed off with another disppointing loss, this time to Brisbane Roar 2-1.

Perth Glory Form


Perth Glory picked up a second straight wooden spoon in the A-League after a nightmare season.

Perth won just four games all season, but two of them game in the final three matches of the season to end on something of a positive.

David Zdrillic's side beaten Adelaide United 4-1 at home and Wellington Phoenix 2-0 on the road in their final away game.

Sandwiched inbetween, Glory did lost 1-0 to Auckland but were competitive against the minor premiers.

Verdict

Mariners ended the season in disappointing fashion and I'm willing to take a chance on Glory, who won two of their final three games.
