Wellington Phoenix Preview – Can Wellington make it four?
Sunday’s A-League hosts, Wellington Phoenix, will be seeking a fourth consecutive win in the Australian top flight when they play host to third from bottom visitors, Melbourne Victory, which in turn could lift the New Zealand outfit up into the top two.
Recent wins against 2nd placed Melbourne City 1-0, Western United 2-0 and a 3-1 victory over Central Coast Mariners have maintained Wellington’s push for a top two finish in the A-League and an automatic spot in the Finals.
It’s been a successful campaign to date for The Phoenix as they’ve won 4 of their last 5 matches overall as well as possessing a solid looking home record which stands at 7-1-2 16/9 which includes winning their last 5 home matches on the trot as well.
It’s even more impressive when you consider Wellington lost their first two home matches of the season on the trot!
Melbourne Victory Preview – Can Melbourne Victory close the gap?
After managing to collect just 1 win out of their last 8 matches overall in the A-League, Melbourne Victory find themselves third from bottom in the division and 7 points adrift of the top six ahead of this tough trip across the ditch to New Zealand to take on an in-form Wellington Phoenix outfit.
This worrying sequence of form includes 5 defeats out of these 8 matches and has seriously jeopardised Victory’s chances of making the Final Series play-offs, where they’ve been more accustomed to battling it out for supremacy against Sydney FC at the top of the table in seasons gone by.
Melbourne’s one win during this miserable run of results was a 2-1 home win against Adelaide United, but they’ve also managed just 1 away win from their last 9 matches on their travels within a poor looking away record of 2-2-6 12/18, so they look to have their work cut out against Wellington Phoenix on Sunday.
