Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix manager Giancarlo Italiano will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Brisbane Roar. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Brisbane Roar's tally of 21 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 11 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Winning 4 and being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 league games at Sky Stadium, marks a good spell of home form for Wellington Phoenix.

With 14 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Mark Jackson will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 12 games in a row, and on the road, they are on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
They have shown a decent streak of form away from home recently, having put together 3 wins on the trot on their travels and are now enjoying an unbeaten run of 4 straight matches.
