Wellington Phoenix form and stats

0 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of Wellington Phoenix, who have the most conceded goals (14) in A-League, playing as the away team in the A-League this season. With the Wellington Phoenix losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Wellington has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Melbourne City (after extra-time, 3-4 on penalties) for a Ffa Cup game that ended a draw (0-0).

Prior to that match, the Wellington manager Talay faced defeat when travelling to Adelaide United and losing 0-4.

Wellington are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, six draws and six defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Wellington are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 4 away games. Wellington are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 2 goals in these matches.
