Wellington Phoenix Form

It's been a tough season for Phoenix - they've failed to back up their great run to the finals from last term and head into this contest in 11th spot on the ladder.

Wellington are out of the finals picture after winning just three of their last 17 games - and as mentioned, two of those victories were against the Jets.

Phoenix did prevail as big underdogs last week against Newcastle, but the Jets were rocked mid-week by the news of their coach Rob Stanton departing at season's end, so it wasn't that much of a surprise.

Wellington had drawn their previous two meetings against Sydney FC and the Wanderers 1-1.

Chico Geraldes missed last week's win over the Jets and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the season with injury.

Melbourne Victory Form

Victory are unbeaten in seven of their last nine games and come into this clash in fifth spot on the ladder.

Just three points clear of Adelaide in seventh, Victory know they need to keep winning in order to give themselves some breathing room in the race for a finals spot.

After a 4-2 defeat away to the Wanderers, Victory got back on track last week with a thrilling 5-3 win over Adelaide, with Nikos Vergos and Daniel Arzani scoring doubles, while Nishan Velupillay also got on the scoresheet.

Melbourne Victory Team News

No major injury concerns for Victory ahead of this encounter. Vergos is a chance to come into the starting side after scoring twice off the bench last week.

Verdict

Wellington Phoenix v Melbourne Victory

Both teams to score is backed, with Victory and Phoenix involved in some open games as of late, while Victory are tipped in the head to head market, with Wellington struggling for wins all season.
