The season is still fairly new and the A-League table has to be read with caution. So far Wellington Phoenix find themselves in 11th position and Brisbane Roar are placed 7th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Wellington Phoenix form and stats
Wellington Phoenix are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two A-League games here. The Wellington Phoenix manager U. Talay might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
The home team returns after sharing the points with Melbourne Victory (placed 8th) on their last time out; the A-League game ended 1-1. Prior to that, an away loss at Melbourne City.
This is expected to be a close game, with Wellington Phoenix perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Wellington Phoenix as a small favourite), we find eight games. Wellington Phoenix has won 5 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
Wellington Phoenix has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 3 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Brisbane Roar form and stats
Still no away game victory in the A-League for Brisbane Roar, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in A-League, with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts.
Brisbane Roar are travelling after their nice 4-3 home win in the A-League against Melbourne City (placed 1st). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Adelaide United's place.
What a finish in the last match, as Brisbane Roar came back from being down 0-2 and secured all three points through R. O'Donovan in the 83rd minute. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Brisbane Roar, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Goalkeeper Max Crocombe was absolutely vital in the Brisbane Roar victory against Melbourne City, making 6 saves.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Brisbane Roar in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Brisbane Roar, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Brisbane Roar's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. It's not easy to score on Brisbane Roar as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 2 - 5 - 3 (Wellington Phoenix wins - draws - Brisbane Roar wins). As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.Wellington Phoenix missing players
