With their 18 point advantage in the league table, Perth Glory fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Central Coast Mariners.

Central Coast Mariners form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Central Coast Mariners, who have the most conceded goals (51) in A-League, so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 1-0-10 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Mariners, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Melbourne Victory game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Bitter travels for Mariners as they have lost nine games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Perth Glory match.

The manager A. Stajcic was unhappy after their last game, a A-League match played at their home ground Central Coast Stadium. Mariners suffered a 2-4 loss to Melbourne City (placed 2nd). A 0-1 defeat away at Brisbane Roar before that.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Central Coast Mariners, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Mariners played away with similar odds. This revealed twelve games. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, three were draws and the home team won as expected eight times.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mariners as they have only managed to score 10 times from 11 away games in the league. The Central Coast Mariners manager A. Stajcic has some worries about the defense as 27 goals have been conceded in these travels.
