Our final Stat Attack of the decade is here!
Check out all the numerical main plates and historical side-salads you need ahead of Tuesday’s Round 12 clash with the Mariners in Gosford.
Doubling Up
Glory have won on their last two trips to Gosford, doubling their number of victories at Central Coast Stadium in the process.
Of the 20 overall meetings between the two clubs in NSW, the Mariners have won 14 and there have been just two draws.
Backing Up
Glory have lost only one of their last five Hyundai A-League games the week after having scored five or more goals in a game (W3, D1).
Misfiring Mariners
The Mariners are the joint-lowest scorers in the competition this term with nine, while Glory are the third-highest scorers with 18.
Sydney FC lead the way with 24 goals.
Dangerman Diego
Perth Glory’s Diego Castro (3 goals, 3 assists) is one of only two players to have both scored 3+ goals and provided 3+ assists this season (Kosta Barbarouses being the other with 4 goals and 3 assists).
Debut Defeat
Glory’s first ever trip to Gosford ended in a 4-0 defeat.
Stewart Petrie (2), Noel Spencer and future Glory signing Dean Heffernan found the net for the hosts back in October 2005.
Key Man Kye
Kye Rowles has been Central Coast’s go-to man this term judging by some of the numbers he’s posting.
The 21-year-old leads the way for passes attempted (514), passes in own half (354), blocks (13) and clearances (42).
Symmetrical Scoring
Glory’s 18 goals this season have been evenly split with nine before half-time and nine after.
In contrast, only two of the Mariners’ nine goals have come in the second half.
Killa Touch
Neil Kilkenny (823) has had more touches of the ball than any other Glory player this season.
Diego Castro is next on the list with 790, followed by his compatriot Juande on 720.
