Despite both teams being out of finals contention, Wellington ends the season strongly, with one of the best recent records and defense in the league. They secured four wins in the last five games.

Macarthur FC vs Wellington Phoenix Tips & Prediction
Macarthur FC and Wellington Phoenix are both playing their final game of the season when they lock horns on Friday night at Campbelltown Stadium to launch A-League Round 26 action.
Both teams are out of finals contention, but it's Wellington who are certainly ending the campaign on a more positive note.
Indeed, Phoenix have the second-best record out of any side across the last five games and the equal-best defence, leaking just four goals and winning four of those fixtures - including a 2-1 triumph last week that condemned the Wanderers to their first ever wooden spoon.
Macarthur meanwhile have won just two of their last 10 games in all competitions and have faded badly after an initial bright start.
With this in mind, can't back the Bulls as even money favourites here. Wellington are in far superior form and have an outstanding record at Campbelltown Stadium, so the best bet is the Nix Double Chance, with extra value on an outright victory. Phoenix striker Ifeanyi Eze is still in contention for the Golden Boot and is the pick for Anytime Goalscorer.

Macarthur FC Form Analysis
It's been an overall disappointing season for Macarthur, who come into the final round with a 8-7-10 record on the season and down in ninth on the ladder.
Last week's defeat to Adelaide means Macarthur are six points adrift of the finals positions, ending their campaign.
The Bulls started the season in encouraging fashion, but juggling AFC Champions League 2 football proved problematic, with Mile Sterjovski's side ultimately knocked out by Bangkok United.
Macarthur have managed just four wins this calendar year. Mitch Duke has been in good form since arriving in January, scoring five goals - including the opener in last week's 3-1 loss to Adelaide.

Squad will be announced on Thursday.
Wellington Phoenix Form Analysis
Despite missing out on the finals, it's been a promising end to the season for Wellington, who have compiled a 9-6-10 record for the campaign to sit in seventh spot on the ladder.
Chris Greenacre has made a positive impact since taking over as interim manager, winning four of his seven games in charge, propelling the Nix onto a late finals charge.
Last week's 2-1 win over the Wanderers kept Wellington in the finals hunt, but their season officially ended with Melbourne City's win over Brisbane.
Ifeanyi Eze has been a revelation up front in his debut season in the A-League, with the striker on target for his 10th goal of the season in the win over Western Sydney. Japanese midfielder Kazuki Nagasawa also found the back of the net, with Tim Payne assisting both goals.
