Wellington Phoenix - Melbourne Victory: betting tip and bets for the Australian Championship match

Current form

Wellington Phoenix is showing extremely weak results this season and occupy only 11th place out of 13 in the standings. The club usually participates in the playoffs, but now it has almost lost its chances of making the top 6. The hosts are nine points behind the sixth position four rounds before the regular season finale. In the last round, the New Zealand team managed to defeat the visiting Victoria over the Newcastle Jets (2:1), breaking a series of eight matches without a win. 

Disqualifications and injuries

Stefan Kolakowski, Francisco Geraldes and Albie Kelly-Heald will miss the upcoming match. 

Interesting betting trends

• The hosts have scored in each of the last four matches

Approximate line-up: Oluwayemi - Piper, Wootton, Hughes- Payne, Rufer, Sheridan, Sutton-Ishige, Nagasawa- Barbarouses

Current form

Melbourne Victory lost the title to the Central Coast Mariners last season only in extra time and is doing quite well in the current championship draw. The visitors occupy the fifth place in the standings and are only inferior to the Western Sydney Wanderers in terms of additional indicators. The Melbourne team has played its last matches in an attacking style, and this has been productive in home matches. Arthur Dyles' team managed to beat Central Coast Mariners (3:0) and Adelaide United (5:3), and on the road they lost to Western Sydney Wanderers (2:4) and failed to beat one of the main outsiders, Brisbane Roar (1:1). 

Disqualifications and injuries

Santos will not play for the visitors due to injury. 

Interesting betting trends

• The team has lost only one of the last six away matches.
• The visitors have scored in each of the last six Australian League matches.

Approximate composition: Langerak - Bos, Jackson, Roderick, Inserra - Velupille, Mashash, Monge, Arzani - Fornaroli, Piscopo
