Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory Match Preview

Wellington Phoenix is ranked at 7th place with 34 points an comes in a very good form as they are unbeaten after two wins and three draws over the last five matches. They sit only two points behind the playoff zone and facing a direct rival here, they will try to take the 6th place at least momentarily.

With 39 goals scored so far they have a pretty good offensive side and in the last five matches they have scored a total of seven goals averaging at least a goal per game. At home they did even better with ten goals over the last five duels.

Hemed with 9 goals - 2 assists and Davila 7 goals - 5 assists have been a big push forward for the team and in these final two games they could be again the ones to provide the goals needed. Hemed is on fire as he scored at least a goal in the last three duels.

Perth Glory, on the other hand, is ranked at 8th place with 32 points and comes almost in a perfect shape after four wins and a draw over the last five matches. This unbeaten streak allowed them to enter strongly in the race for a playoff spot and considering that they have three games left to play I fancy their chances. A win against a direct rival here would mean to shorten their distance to just one point.

With 40 goals scored they have the third best offensive side in the league and in the last five matches they have scored a total of 13 goals averaging almost three goals per game.

It has been a crazy run for them as Fornaroli has scored 11 goals and provided 4 assists followed by D'Agostino 5 goals - 1 assists and Keogh 4 goals - 6 assists.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Perth Glory is rolling way too good for the moment and with this high morale I expect a goal by them even though they are on the road. They have the quality needed and the experienced players to do so. Wellington Phoenix plays at home where they have scored 22 of their 39 goals and since their rivals on the road failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the last five duels they can score a goal as minimum here.
