Sunday afternoon brings us the A-League clash between Wellington Phoenix and Perth Glory at the Sky Stadium with both teams keen to further push their claims for a top six finish with a win here.
Looking at Wellington Phoenix first, and the hosts recorded a second win on the trot with a recent 2-1 win away from home at Western Sydney Wanderers which not only extended the Kiwi’s unbeaten run in the A-League to nine games but also helped lift The Phoenix up into 7th place and just two points behind 6th placed Macarthur.
Five wins and four draws make up the last nine results for Wellington Phoenix who have picked up home win against Western United (twice) and Adelaide United during this period.
Wellington have won their last three home games on the trot but a home record of 5-2-5 22/17 suggests a level of inconsistency and they’ve beaten Perth Glory just once in their last four meetings at home.
Perth Glory have three games remaining of their A-League campaign and sit in 8th place but the visitors are just four points adrift of 6th placed Macarthur, so a result in New Zealand on Sunday afternoon would indeed further their claims for a top six spot.
Perth Glory will head into this Sunday’s clash at Sky Stadium in confident mood as the visitors have put together an important five-match unbeaten run which includes winning four of these five games.
Recent victories against Melbourne Victory, Western United, Western Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United have seen Perth Glory make the most of their five-game home stretch, but results on the road haven’t been so convincing.
Perth have failed to win any of their last six away from home but only three of these have seen the visitors lose by 2 goals or more.
The Betting Verdict
Wellington Phoenix could win this one but Perth Glory could keep things close here.
The Pick :
Wellington Phoenix 1-1 Perth Glory
