Wellington Phoenix form and stats

Wellington Phoenix's mission in Australian Cup last season failed in the semi-finals.

Wellington Phoenix have only collected 13 points from their away games in the A-League, after 4-1-8 (13 played).

Two away games in a row for Wellington, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Western United. It is a concern for Wellington Phoenix that their goalie Sail pulled off seven saves in the Western United game, but still couldn't save them from a defeat. Midfielder Piscopo was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.35. Piscopo hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 68 successful passes (of 78 total).

It was a A-League defeat before that one as the away game against Melbourne City wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Wellington Phoenix are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 13 games (in the league). The Wellington manager Talay has some worries about the defense as 29 goals have been conceded in these travels.
