Perth Glory will welcome Central Coast Mariners to HBF Park in the A-League on Friday. Glory have endured a winless start to their league campaign and are at the bottom of the standings. The visitors have not fared much better, winning just one of their three games.
The hosts got their campaign underway with a 2-2 draw against Wellington Phoenix, and they have failed to score in the two games since. They met Melbourne Victory in their previous outing, and fell to a 2-0 home defeat.
The Mariners had a winning start to their season, recording a 3-2 home triumph over the Newcastle Jets, but are winless in their last two games. They squared off against Phoenix last week and were held to a 1-1 draw. James Sabit scored the equalizer in the 52nd minute.

The Mariners returned to goalscoring ways in their draw last week and will look to continue their goalscoring run. They are winless in their last four away games in this fixture, with three ending in draws.
