PERTH, Australia (Interstat) — A pair of A-League sides seeking momentum will meet Friday when Perth Glory hosts the Cen Coast Mariners at HBF Park.

The Mariners (1-1-1) sit mid-table early in the season, while Perth (0-2-1) is still searching for its first victory. Both clubs have identical records across all competitions, mirroring their league form.

Central Coast arrives after a 1-1 draw with Kampong Speu Province on Nov. 2. Their season has been a mixed bag, featuring a 3-2 win over Newcastle Jets and a 2-0 loss to Sydney FC. Perth is looking to rebound from a 2-0 home defeat to Melbourne Victory last Friday. Their campaign began with a 4-0 loss to Melbourne City and a 2-2 draw with Kampong Speu Province.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the match is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, a result that would extend both teams’ current unbeaten runs to two matches.

Following this fixture, Perth’s next match is on the road against Macarthur on Nov. 30. The Mariners’ next A-League contest isn’t until Feb. 22, 2026, against Western Sydney Wanderers.
