LiontipsWellington Phoenix – Brisbane Roar. Forecast and bets for the Australian Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Wellington Phoenix finished the previous regular season in second place, only two points behind the first line. The team went straight to the semi-finals of the playoffs, where they lost to Melbourne Victory." (0:0, 1:2). Unfortunately, the current championship draw is turning out to be an absolute failure for the New Zealand club. The Wellington team is only in tenth place and six points behind the playoff zone. In recent home matches, the New Zealanders have drawn with Sydney FC (0:0) and Central Coast Mariners (0:0). At the same time, they managed to defeat MacArthur on the road (2:1). In 14 matches, Giancarlo Italiano's team scored only 15 goals, ahead of only the obvious outsider in Perth Glory.

Stefan Kolakowski will miss the match due to injury. The appearance of Tim Payne, Alex Rufer and Gabriel Sloane-Rodriguez is questionable.

- The hosts have won only one of the last five home matches.
Approximate line-up: Oluwayemi - Sutton, Hughes, Wootton, Sheridan, Payne-Ishige, Nagasawa, Retre, Brooke-Smith-Barbarouses
Current form
Brisbane Roar remains at the bottom of the A-League standings and is unlikely to leave the last place in the near future. The team managed to score only five points in 14 matches and is four points behind the penultimate Perth Glory. It is clear that you should not expect to fight for the playoffs. Recently, the guests managed to break a series of five defeats by winning an unexpected away victory over Sydney FC (4:3). Unfortunately, the success of Ruben Zadkovich's team did not work out - on January 31, the Brisbane team suffered a home defeat against Western Sydney Wanderers (0:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no particular problems with the squad, with only defender Ben Worland remaining in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has suffered six defeats in the last seven matches.
- None of the last seven matches of the guests ended in a draw.
Approximate line-up: Freke - Burke-Gilroy, Biliti, Herrington, Van Der Saag - Schoor - Jelacic, O'Shea, Berenger, Halloran - Weddingham

1.65Tip and bets
The hosts are not giving up hope of getting into the playoffs, but for this they need to significantly improve their results. It is clear that there is no way to lose points in a game with the main outsider of the championship. The Brisbane club has lost six of its last seven matches and is unlikely to be able to take points away from Wellington. We believe that the hosts will score three points in this match.
Our forecast is a 2.25 win for Wellington Phoenix
Bet on the total
Both teams will only fight to win, because they are not satisfied with their current positions in the standings. No one will benefit from a draw here, so the main bet will be on the attack. This style of play should lead to a large number of scoring chances, some of which will be realized.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.78
Betting on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please the fans with an abundance of riding totals, including the number of serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 1.95
