Head To Head

This will be the first meeting between the teams this season, with Phoenix prevailing in a 3-2 thriller in the most recent clash back in March 2024.

Wellington Phoenix Form

After a tremendous season last term, Phoenix are struggling to back it up in 2024/25 and have a lot of work to do in order to challenge for the finals.

Wellington come into this fixture on the back of four defeats from their last five games, with their only victory coming at home against the lowly Newcastle Jets.

Phoenix's current stretch of poor form started with a second defeat this season to new rivals Auckland, which was followed by a 2-1 loss at home against Macarthur.

Giancarlo Italiano's side proceeded to suffer a crushing 4-1 loss to the Wanderers on the road and are coming off an underwhelming 2-0 defeat against Melbourne City in their last game.

Alex Rufer is a chance to return from illness after missing the loss against City.

Adelaide United Form

Adelaide United have gone unbeaten in nine of their 10 games this season to be equal-second on the ladder heading into Round 13.

The Reds' away form has been the key as they won all five matches on the road this season against the Western Sydney Wanderers, Brisbane Roar, Newcastle Jets, Central Coast Mariners and Macarthur.

The 2-1 away win over Macarthur most recently was secured in stunning fashion, with all goals scored in the final 15 minutes of the game.

Valere Germain put Macarthur ahead in the 80th minute, but Zach Clough levelled the scores five minutes later via the penalty spot. Young gun Luka Jovanovic then fired home a 92nd minute winner.

Jordan Elsey and Bailey O'Neill were both missing from the win over Macarthur.

Verdict

Wellington Phoenix v Adelaide United

Adelaide are flying this season and won all five away games. Seven of their last eight games have featured over 2.5 goals so I'm backing goals along with another Reds win.
