Phoenix are backed to pile more misery on rock-bottom Brisbane and secure all three points at home. It's been a nightmare season for the Roar, who have managed just one win in 14 games. Brisbane have also struggled against Wellington in recent times, last beating them in 2022, while they've haven't tasted victory across the ditch since 2017. Wellington are unbeaten in their last three games and are expected to emerge triumphant in front of their own fans.

  • Roar have lost six of their last seven games
  • Roar haven't won in NZ vs Phoenix since 2017
  • Phoenix are unbeaten in the last six meetings, winning four
  • Phoenix are unbeaten in their last three games

  • Roar have failed to score in five of their last six defeats

Head To Head


Phoenix are unbeaten in the last six meetings between the teams, winning four of those - including a most-recent 1-0 victory in March 2024.

Wellington Phoenix Form


It's a must-win game for Phoenix if they harbour ambitions of featuring in the finals this season.

Wellington haven't really got going this campaign, but they are unbeaten in their last three outings, registering 0-0 stalemates against Sydney FC and Central Coast either side of a 2-1 triumph on the road against Macarthur.

Phoenix are six points adrift of Macarthur in sixth spot heading into this encounter, but they have two games in hand, meaning they will be in a strong position if they can win this clash.

Wellington Phoenix Team News


Alex Rufer could be a chance to return after missing the last few games with illness.

Brisbane Roar Form


Things couldn't have gone much worse for the Roar this season and they come into this Round 18 clash anchored to the bottom of the ladder.

Brisbane have won just one of their last 14 games, losing six of their last seven heading into this showdown.

The Roar had a chance to turn a corner after beating Sydney FC 4-3 on the road a couple of weeks ago, but they failed to build on that result, losing 1-0 at home against the Wanderers in their most-recent outing.

Brisbane Roar Team News


Ben Warland remains the only injury concern for the Roar and he remains sidelined here.

Verdict

Wellington haven't lost to Brisbane in New Zealand since 2017 and that's not about to change here.

The Roar are in shambles, rock bottom on the ladder and coming into this clash having lost six of their last seven games.

Phoenix should be able to extend their good record against Brisbane and they are decent value to keep a clean sheet in the process.
