📋 Team News: Wellington Phoenix

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Wellington Phoenix manager Giancarlo Italiano to be concerned about due to a largely intact group. Oskar Zawada (Groin injury) won’t play.

📰 Team News: Melbourne City

Melbourne City manager Aurelio Vidmar has to contend with a number of unavailable players. James Nieuwenhuizen (Hamstring injury), Mathew Leckie (Knee injury), Arion Sulemani (Cruciate ligament tear), Nuno Reis (Muscle injury), Zane Schreiber (Knee injury) and Andrew Nabbout (Achilles heel problems) miss out here.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Wellington Phoenix should get enough chances to breach the defence of this Melbourne City lineup, but a single goal might not be as many as they will have scored against them.

We therefore reckon that it will be a narrow 1-2 advantage for Melbourne City when all is said and done. Expecting it to be very competitive.

Our expert partners are tipping over 1.5 goals for this match. Check out their VIP predictions here.
