Current form
Auckland is playing its first season in the league, but has already made a name for itself, having become a leader from the very beginning of the championship. However, 2025 has not started as well for the club as 2024. On January 1, the New Zealand club achieved only a goalless draw in the confrontation with Melbourne Victory (0:0), and then lost away to one of the main outsiders of the league, Perth Glory (0:1). Due to these failures, the hosts lost the lead in the standings and ended up in third place. However, after a confident victory over Melbourne City (2:0), they managed to rise to second place.

The teams are fighting for the first place and are competitors to each other. The opponents will probably take this match seriously and will not allow any defensive lapses.
