Command Analysis

Perth Glory

Current form
Perth Glory occupies the penultimate place in the standings and is only three points ahead of Brisbane Roar from last place. It will be extremely difficult for the hosts to reach the playoff zone, because they are already 15 points behind the top 6. The Perth club managed to defeat the season's leader, Auckland (1-0), but then the hosts were defeated on their own field by Western Sydney Wanderers (1-2). On January 25, David Zdrilic's team faced another outsider, the Newcastle Jets. The match ended with a score of 2:2. On the first day of February, the club suffered a logical defeat from Melbourne Victory (0:2). For the entire season, the outsider managed to earn only nine points, scoring only 11 goals. Perth Glory is the least productive club in the A-League.

David Williams will not play due to injury. The appearance of Lachlan Barr and Andriano Lebib on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends

Central Coast Mariners

Current form
The Central Coast Mariners won the championship last season, beating Melbourne Victory in the final in extra time. Now you can't even dream of such successes, since the team is not even in the playoff zone and is only on the ninth line in the standings. We are only four points behind the top 6, so there is still a chance to compete. The good news is that after the new year, the club suffered only one defeat. The team from Gosford lost to Sydney FC with a score of 1:4. In the remaining matches, we managed to get wins over Brisbane Roar (3:1) and Western Sydney Wanderers (3:1), as well as draws with Wellington Phoenix (0:0), Western United (2:2) and Newcastle Jets (2:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Brad Tapp and Miguel de Pizio will miss the match due to injury. Angel Torres continues to serve his suspension. The appearance of Nicolas Duarte, Lucas Mauragis and Alfie McCalmont is questionable.

The visitors still have a chance of a playoff spot. In the last three matches, we managed to achieve only draw results, which is not enough for a high-quality rise in the table.

Bet on the total
Both teams are extremely weak in defense, but they often surprise in attack. No one will be satisfied with a draw, so you should expect a game on opposite courses. We believe that with this development of events, a scoring extravaganza is inevitable.

Betting on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please the fans with an abundance of riding totals, including the number of serves from the corner flag.
