Wellington vs Perth Glory Preview

The two sides emerged successfully from their respective previous meetings, with Wellington Phoenix overcoming Central Coast Mariners 2-1 while Perth Glory crushed Melbourne Victory 3-1. The hosts claimed two straight wins in their previous fixtures, defeating Sydney and Brisbane Roar on their respective turfs.

The Nix have won five league matches, drawn five, and lost three, securing 20 points from a possible 39 on offer. They sit fourth in the standings, seven points adrift of leaders Melbourne City. Wellington's last meeting with Perth Glory ended in a 1-1 draw but their two previous clashes were dominated by the hosts.

The visitors finished on the floor last season -12th out of 12 teams – but have had a good start to the new campaign. Perth Glory have won five matches so far, like most of the top eight teams in the table. They have drawn twice and lost six times, sitting in the eighth spot with 17 points.

The Glory could leap into the playoff zone (3-6) if they claim maximum points in New Zealand but that appears to be a tall order. Perth Glory have endured terrible away form this term, losing four times in their last five matches on the road. Their last win at the Central Energy Trust Arena was in August 2020.
