Wellington Phoenix vs Auckland FC prediction

Following Adelaide United’s thumping victory over Perth Glory, the pressure is now on Auckland FC to respond after struggling in front of goal recently. The visitors have scored just twice across their last two games, although they did pick up four points. Auckland boast the joint-best defence in the A-League, conceding just 18 goals so far in 17 games.

Wellington Phoenix are without a win in their last four league matches, shipping 11 goals over that period including at least two-per-game. Such a fragile backline represents the ideal opposition for a misfiring Auckland attack to take on right now, so back them to discover their shooting boots and fire the away side to victory here.
