Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne City prediction

Both teams will see this as a good chance of picking up three points and that should lead to a fairly open encounter with Wellington Phoenix and Melbourne City each not scared of pushing extra bodies forward in order to overwhelm their opponents and gain the edge. It’s also worth noting that the pair shipped a total of ten goals combined in their most recent A-League fixture.

Expect plenty of chances at both ends of the pitch and a fixture that likely sees a significant number of goals scored, regardless of the final outcome. With that in mind, consider backing over 2.5 goals between these two sides.
