Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 away win against Brisbane Roar. In that game they had 52% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Brisbane Roar who had 12 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 16 games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 10 of their 12 league games.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Oskar Zawada will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Wellington Phoenix's last 6 league games.
Central Coast Mariners, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-1 away win over Macarthur FC in their last league game, Central Coast Mariners will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 11 on target, in comparison to Macarthur FC, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 13 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Nick Montgomery will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 4 goals in the same period. Few teams have managed to keep Mariners away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games.
The Central Coast Mariners travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Jason Cummings, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
In the previous encounter between these sides, both teams grabbed goals, with the match finishing in a 2-2 draw.
