Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix manager Giancarlo Italiano will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Perth Glory. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Perth Glory, who had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Italiano will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. They've kept 8 clean sheets so far this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
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.
Adelaide United, Recent FormThe Adelaide United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Western Sydney Wanderers recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they recorded 54 % of the possession, with 24 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 12 shots on goal.
Supremo Carl Veart will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. Playing away from home, they've conceded a goal in each of their last 22 games.
They have not be performing well away from home with 5 straight defeats on the road.
Hiroshi Ibusuki will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Adelaide United.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
The Wellington defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Reds have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 meetings at Sky Stadium.
Adelaide Utd has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Wellington, being unable to find a win from any of their last 5 league meetings at Sky Stadium.
Hiroshi Ibusuki has scored in each of Adelaide Utd's last league game against Wellington.
