In our weekly player comparison A-League infographics we take a look at two of the league’s hottest prospects who will clash come Saturday night when the Glory travel to take on the Mariners.
Pacy attacker Nick Fitzgerald will be looking to build on the good form that saw him grab a couple of goals last season.
Creating 25 chances for an average Central Coast side, Fitzgerald is key to his side’s attacking fluency.
A more combative midfielder than his Perth Glory peer, the 23 year-old has won 47% of his duels and will be looking to make this year a breakout one.
More of a centrally-positioned creator, Nebojsa Marinković possesses a hammer of a right footballer that saw him score on five occassions last season.
His immense passing game, keeping a respectable 81% passing accuracy, could potentially turn the game on Saturday night at Central Coast Stadium.
With 54 chances created in 25 appearances, if the Serbian fails to score he may easily be among the assists.
Not exactly the team in-form over the past couple of seasons, the Mariners have bossed this fixture. With 17 wins in 28 matches, will Perth be able to buck the trend?
