Auckland FC vs Wellington Phoenix Verdict


The latest instalment of the Kiwi Clasico is tipped to follow a theme of the previous clashes with Auckland backed for a seventh consecutive victory over Wellington Phoenix in the derby. Over 2.5 goals is also tipped.

Head To Head

Auckland have won all six previous derby showdowns, scoring 20 goals in the process.

Auckland FC Form

Auckland have been dominant since entering the A-League, winning the minor premiership two years ago and securing Grand Final glory last term.

Making it three straight years of silverware will be a challenge, but Auckland have retained a strong squad and will give themselves a chance.

The Black Knights beat Melbourne City 3-1 in the opening round before a disappointing 5-2 loss away to the Wanderers. It was a solid response from Auckland last week, but they couldn't hold on to an early 1-0 lead, conceding in injury time to settle for a 1-1 draw.

Wellington Phoenix Form

It's been a dream start to the season for Wellington, who find themselves top of the ladder after three rounds.

It's the first time in their club history that Phoenix have won their opening three games of the A-League season - a huge achievement considering they were thought to be wooden spoon contenders in the preseason.

Wellington earned a 2-1 win over Melbourne Victory in Round 1 before keeping a clean sheet in 2-0 and 3-0 triumphs over the Mariners and Newcastle Jets.
