Sydney FC vs Wellington Phoenix Preview

Sydney FC advanced into the semi-finals of AFC Champions League 2 in midweek and are full of confidence. Sydney do need to secure all three points here as they are in seventh, just outside the finals positions.

I'm backing under 3.5 goals as the best bet, with some value in Sydney prevailing with a clean sheet against this timid Wellington attack.

Sydney FC are on a 3-game winning streak in all competitions
Sydney FC have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 4 games
Wellington Phoenix have seen under 3.5 goals in 8 of the last 9 matches against Sydney FC

Head To Head

It was a 0-0 draw when these two sides met back in Round 14 across the ditch. Sydney have won five of their last six home games over Wellington.

Sydney will be playing their first A-League game since March 1 after successfully toppling Korean heavyweights Jeonbuk 5-2 across their two legs to reach the AFC Champions League 2 semi-finals.

The Sky Blues kept their cool after Jeonbuk got the tie back to 2-2 at Allianz on Thursday, with Alex Grant, Patryk Klimala and Douglas Costa all scoring in the second-half to secure the win.

However, focus now must return to the A-League, where Sydney are tasked with a must-win encounter here.

Ufuk Talay's side are currently two points outside the top six and could fall further behind should rivals the Wanderers beat Melbourne Victory on Saturday night. Sydney were victorious in their last A-League fixture, beating Macarthur 2-0.

There might be some rotation from Talay, but Sydney have named the same squad that beat Macarthur two weeks ago.

Wellington Phoenix Form

It's been a poor season from Wellington after they enjoyed a great run to the finals last term.

Phoenix have managed just two wins from their last 14 games, slumping to 11th spot on the ladder as a result.

Currently on a four-game losing streak, Wellington are 12 points off the finals and all but out of top six contention.

Wellington have leaked 11 goals in their last three defeats, including 6-1 and 4-1 defeats to Auckland and Western respectively.

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues returns from injury for Wellington.

Verdict

Sydney FC v Wellington Phoenix

Wellington's season is basically over and they come into this clash on a four-game losing streak, scoring just six goals in their last 10 games.

Sydney might be a bit fatigued from their Champions League exploits, but they should have enough firepower to emerge triumphant, keeping a clean sheet in the process.
