Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Wellington Phoenix supremo Ufuk Talay after sustaining a heavy 4-1 away loss to Melbourne City. During that encounter they had 44% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 12 of their 23 shots on goal.
Talay\ will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 7 goals scored. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 27 games in a row. Having shipped goals in 11 out of their 12 matches this season, Talay will not be pleased with his team's struggles to keep a clean sheet at home.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada has scored in each of Wellington Phoenix's last 5 league games at Sky Stadium.
Brisbane Roar, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Brisbane Roar managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against Newcastle United Jets. They came away from that fixture with a 39% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Newcastle United Jets, who managed 8 attempts on goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. With them having scored in 10 of their away games this season, their fans know there's a good chance of getting a positive result on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Jay O'Shea is on a hot scoring streak recently having scored in each of Brisbane Roar's last league game.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Wellington Phoenix that came out on top with a 0-1 win.
The Roar defence has struggled at Sky Stadium, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 visits. Wellington have managed to keep a clean sheet against Brisbane in 4 of their previous 5 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, The Nix's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Brisbane will have to take their chances when they come.
Wellington has won the last 2 games they've played against Brisbane in the league.
With no real injury worries, Wellington manager Ufuk Talay will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Brisbane manager Nick Green has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
