Wellington Phoenix form and stats

Wellington Phoenix have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the A-League were 3 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats from 13 fixtures. Three has not been a lucky number for Wellington Phoenix as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Western United match.

Wellington Phoenix failed to get anything from their last game, a A-League home match vs Perth Glory (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Sydney wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Wellington Phoenix goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic had a great day against Perth Glory, but despite making 6 saves the loss could not be avoided.

Wellington Phoenix have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Melbourne City won 6, Wellington Phoenix won 4 and 0 draws. 6 games with over 2,5 goals, 4 matches with two goals or less.
