In a contest that could prove to be a lively meeting in midweek, Wellington Phoenix will host Melbourne Victory on Wednesday morning.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been an inconsistent run of form, Wellington Phoenix still find themselves battling it out at the foot of the A-League table. In their opening 12 matchups so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, three draws and six defeats, scoring 17 and conceding 19 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 12, they open the midweek fixtures sat down in 10th and already six points adrift of finding a route into the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar, Wellington have managed to win just a pair of their last eight A-League contests. Along with their back-to-back fixtures ending with both teams finding the net, it should also be noted that Wednesday’s hosts have conceded over 1.5 goals in all bar one of their home matchups since opening the 2021 campaign.

As for the visitors, enduring what has been a woeful run of form, Melbourne Victory are already a landslide pick to lift the wooden spoon this year. In their 11 A-League matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, one draw and eight defeats, scoring 11 and conceding 26 in return. Along with mustering just a points tally of seven out of a possible 33 and opening the midweek fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table, it should also be noted The Blues hold the worst defensive record in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-1 defeat against Adelaide United, Wednesday’s guests have lost their last three A-League contests on the bounce, shipping a staggering 13 goals. In a contest that could see a string of chances, we’re backing both teams to find the net.
