📏 Form Guide
Melbourne Victory
LWDLLL 📉
Melbourne Victory will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 0-1 A-League defeat in their last game at the hands of Newcastle United Jets.
Angus Thurgate (72') was the scorer for Newcastle United Jets.
Melbourne Victory have really been misfiring in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 4 vs opponents during the course of their previous six fixtures. In those meetings, Victory have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 10.

Wellington Phoenix
DLWLLD
In their previous game, Wellington Phoenix drew 2-2 in the A-League match with Western Sydney Wanderers.
For Wellington Phoenix, the scorers were Mirza Muratovic (9') and Louis Fenton (79'). Kwame Yeboah (71') and Bruce Kamau (76') scored for Western Sydney Wanderers.
Wellington Phoenix have attacked well of late, scoring 7 goals in their previous 6 matches. Having said that, The Nix can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same clashes. That sort of trend isn’t assured to be continued here, though.
Their previous form shows that Wellington Phoenix:
- have not won against Melbourne Victory when they've played them away from home in the last 5 matches in the league. Not good.
- are undefeated by Melbourne Victory in games played away from home for the previous 4 league games. A very good run of results for them.

The match was refereed by Alex King.
