Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne Victory Match Preview

Wellington Phoenix is ranked at the third place with 33 points and comes almost in a perfect shape with four wins and a single loss over the last five duels. This made them climb in ranks and now they aim to grab the second spot from Melbourne City. That is because they are only four points behind and have a game in hand to play.

In front of their fans they have had some amazing performances so far with seven wins in ten games and 16 goals in total. In the last five matches they have scored ten goals, averaging two goals per game so I expect them to find the back of the net even here.

Melbourne Victory, on the other side, is ranked at the 9th place with 20 points and comes in a bad form as they got just a win two draws and two loses over the last five matches. While in the last season they managed to qualify for the AFC Champions League, now things are a bit difficult as they are seven points behind the play off zone. They will need to get back to winning ways starting from this match even though it will be difficult.

They have scored seven goals in the last five matches and considering they are on a long break from the AFC Champions League, I expect them to try and get a positive result here so they should be able to score.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Wellington Phoenix play at home and will try to get the fourth win in a row which would be important for their goal. Melbourne Victory are also in need for points, so they will try their best to come out with points here so they should find the back of the net too.
