The season is still fairly new and the Premiership table has to be read with caution. So far Team Wellington find themselves in 6th position and Canterbury United are placed 7th.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Canterbury United have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 10-8-5 (win-draw-loss) from 23 matches.
