Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormA 0-0 draw in their last match against Central Coast Mariners meant Wellington Phoenix had to settle for a share of the points. During that encounter they had 57% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 8 shots on goal.
Manager Giancarlo Italiano will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 10 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Nix, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Sky Stadium having scored 7 goals in Wellington Phoenix's last 6 home games in the league.
Western United, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Sydney FC will be viewed as a positive outcome for Western United and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Sydney FC's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have bagged 8 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 14 times in that period. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 16 games, and so far this season they've failed to score in 7 of their 14 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Daniel Penha will be looking to cause Wellington Phoenix some problems having scored 2 goals in Western United's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Wellington Phoenix.
Wellington will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 10 encounters with The West. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, The West have failed to score a single goal against Wellington.
Western Utd has lost the last 2 times they've faced Wellington in the league.
With no real injury worries, Wellington manager Giancarlo Italiano will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Western Utd manager John Aloisi has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
