Mariners and Glory meet in table-topping clash
Central Coast Mariners (W) will be the hosts when Perth Glory (W) come to town on Saturday, the two teams sitting first and second in the A-League Women 2026/2027 table after four games. The Mariners have ten points on the board, with Glory on seven.
Central Coast are coming off the back of two results at their home ground in the A-League Women 2026/2027, a 2-0 win over Adelaide United (W) followed by a 1-1 draw against Newcastle Jets (W). The Mariners maintained their momentum from both results, while Perth Glory have had a mixed bag of results of late.
Glory beat Wellington Phoenix (W) 2-0 at the back end of last month, but a 0-1 loss to Canberra United FC (W) at the start of this month has shown that there are flaws for the table-toppers to exploit.
Goals at both ends likely
The head-to-head between these two teams has been fairly even in recent seasons, with Central Coast winning two of the last five meetings and the other three finishing level. Central Coast haven't won their last two home games against Glory, with the most recent meeting ending 0-0 in Perth, but we see a couple of things happening in this contest that will change the game.
Emily Husband's side have been given plenty of freedom to attack, with the full-backs pushing forward at pace to join the attack when the ball is wide. Central Coast's pace and width should cause a few problems for Perth's compact shape, but Glory are yet to concede an away goal in the A-League Women 2026/2027, so they should be able to stay in the game.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.7 seems the smart angle here, while both teams to score at 1.6 looks good too. Glory have been good value on the road so far this season, playing out two unbeaten away games, a win and a draw. But Central Coast are a step up in class and should edge this one.
