As Wellington Phoenix prepare to face off against Perth Glory, both teams are eager to emerge victorious despite recent struggles. Wellington, currently in 11th spot and under caretaker coach Chris Greenacre, are winless in seven games. Meanwhile, Perth sit just above them in 10th, four points shy of the top six. Past encounters have often ended in draws, with a 2-2 result in their last duel. A draw seems likely, with both teams scoring, making their Distance Derby showdown a match to watch.

Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory Head To Head

These two teams last met back in Round 1 this season, with Wellington recovering from 2-0 down to earn a 2-2 draw at HBF Park.

Wellington Phoenix Down To 11th Spot

Wellington come into this contest with a 5-6-9 record on the season and languishing in 11th spot on the ladder after 20 rounds.

Now under the tutelage of caretaker coach Chris Greenacre, Phoenix have a massive mountain to climb if they are to feature in the finals.

Phoenix bring a seven-game winless run into this encounter, losing four of those fixtures.

Wellington did however aim up last week on the road, coming away from Coopers with a 1-1 draw against Adelaide, with Manjrekar James getting on the scoresheet.

Perth Glory Four Points Off The Top Six

Glory head into this showdown with a 6-4-10 record on the season and sitting one spot above Wellington on the ladder in 10th, four points off the finals positions.

Perth's season is certainly still alive - even more so if they can secure the upset on the road here - but two wins in their last nine suggest their current form isn't good enough.

After a 1-1 draw with Brisbane, Glory once again settled for a draw last week, but they would be fairly happy with a point against Auckland.

Brian Kaltek equalised with a header from a corner and Stefan Colacovski put Glory ahead midway through the second half, but Perth couldn't hold on and ultimately drew 2-2.

Verdict

Both teams are backed to score with value on the draw one again.
