Under 3.5 Bookings
Our top Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners prediction is for the game to have quite a lot of bookings. After all, these two are the bullies in the A-League. Perth Glory received 40 yellow cards and two red ones in 15 games while Central Coast Mariners are trailing by only one yellow card.
Given that the stakes are so high, there’ll be a lot of tension to succeed. And that’s always connected with errors, fouls, and bookings.
Central Coast Mariners to Win
Sure, Perth Glory will have a slight advantage at Macedonia Park as they’re accustomed to playing at that venue but Central Coast Mariners’ form is second to none. The visitors are the only ones who can take down Melbourne City from the top and we’re sure that coach Ruben Zadkovich’s boys will want to get a solid result over Perth Glory.
With one victory, three draws, and one loss against Perth Glory in the last five showdowns, you can’t exactly call the visiting team the favorite to win but our Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners predictions remain in favor of the visitors.

Perth Glory odds: 39/20 (2.95) – 32.0%
Draw odds: 51/20 (3.55) – 27.0%
Central Coast Mariners odds: 33/25 (2.32) – 41.0%
Even with the home-field support on their side, Perth Glory barely scrapes a 32.0% chance to win on the 18th of February, as the 39/20 (2.95) odds suggest. Furthermore, Central Coast Mariners odds stand at 33/25 (2.32) which gives them a massive 41.0% success chance which further boosts our Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners predictions.
Predicted Lineups, Team News, and Last Result
Perth Glory
The Glory isn’t having the most glorious days. The team is in 9th place in the A-League and despite the recent unbeaten run, they got pipped 2-4 by the almighty Melbourne City a couple of days ago in a match that could’ve ended catastrophically for them as Hearts were by far the superior team on the pitch. There’s no denying that Perth Glory will do their lethal best to poach points away from Central Coast Mariners but we just can’t see it happening.
Predicted lineup – Cook (GK), Koutroumbis, Elsey, Beevers, Bodnar, Gilroy, Clisby, Amini, Jelacic, R. Williams & D. Williams
Central Coast Mariners
The Coasties are unlikely to have issues in securing the three points on the 18th of February, according to our key Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners predictions. After all, they are currently in 2nd place and are maintaining a reachable distance to Melbourne City for 1st place. However, if coach Nick Montgomery wants to really put pressure on their rivals for the title, he simply has to win games like this one.
Predicted lineup – Vukovic (GK), McGarry, Hall, Triantis, Roux, Nisbet, Balard, Silvera, N’Kololo, Cummings & M.T

Player to Watch: Jason Cummings
Our Perth Glory vs Central Coast Mariners wouldn’t have been as convincing without Jason Cummings’ presence on the pitch on the 18th of February. He’s been a lethal finisher this season and with 10 goals to his name in the 2022/23 campaign, he’s the only one who has a shot to dethrone Melbourne City’s Jamie Maclaren from the throne.
