Wellington Phoenix Form
Wellington Phoenix ended a three-game losing run spread across two seasons when holding A-League newboys Macarthur 1-1 two weeks ago.
Phoenix led through David Ball's first-half goal. But the sending-off of Wellington midfielder Alex Rufer changed the game with Markel Susaeta equalising five minutes later.
Wellington started the season with a 2-1 loss to Sydney FC with striker Mirza Muratovic getting his first goal for the club.
That loss followed two at the end of last season for Ufuk Talay's side. They signed off last campaign with a 3-0 defeat to the Newcastle Jets before losing 1-0 to Perth Glory in the finals.

Ufuk Talay will be forced into one change in midfield with Alex Rufer beginning a one-match suspension.
Matthew Ridenton is the man likely to come into the starting line-up.
Attacking midfielder Reno Piscopo should be available for the first time this season after injury.
Newcastle Jets Form
Interim boss Craig Deans has had a tough start to the season with his Jets side slipping to a fourth defeat from as many games on Wednesday.
It was a third straight 2-1 loss for the Jets as they went down at home to Brisbane Roar.
Valentino Yuel equalised to cancel out Riku Danzaki's opener, only for Dylan Wenzel-Halls to win it for the Roar.
The defeat followed losses to F3 derby rivals Central Coast Mariners (1-0), Western Sydney Wanderers (2-1) and Macarthur (2-1).
Newcastle Jets Team News
Craig Deans has been forced to name the same team for the last two games with centre-back Lachlan Jackson (ankle) and midfielder Ben Kantarovski (calf) still out.
Young midfielder Luka Prso has signed for the remainder of the season, but is nursing a tissue injury and won't be considered for this game.
Talented young striker Valentino Yuel has scored in his last two games and will be key to the Jets' hopes.
