Wellington Phoenix, Recent FormWellington Phoenix will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Newcastle United Jets. They came away from that fixture with 43% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Newcastle United Jets managed 18 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. Their ongoing goal scoring streak now stands at 23 games in a row. Ufuk Talay will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 10 games in a row.
They've been performing well at Sky Stadium of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Wellington Phoenix, Oskar Zawada will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Sydney FC, Recent FormSydney FC enter this game with a comfortable 1-0 home win over Melbourne Victory last time out in the league. In that game they had 53% possession and managed 2 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Melbourne Victory who had 15 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Steve Corica will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. Based on their impressive scoring record, which includes goals in 9 of their away matches this season, their travelling support will feel confident of getting a good result on the road. Having shipped at least a single goal in 16 of their 19 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Adam Le Fondre will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sydney FC.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 0-1 win for Wellington Phoenix.
In each of their last 11 games away from home in the league to Wellington, The Sky Blues have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
In the past Sydney have managed to keep their hosts in this away league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 11 games in a row.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Wellington at their home ground Sky Stadium, Sydney man Adam Le Fondre will be looking for more of the same in this one.
With no real injury worries, Wellington manager Ufuk Talay will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sydney manager Steve Corica has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
