Open poll and resultsWellington Phoenix vs Melbourne Victory prediction
Back in management for the first time since leaving MLS side Portland Timbers in 2023, Giovanni Savarese finds himself in the A-League and at Melbourne Victory, who are desperately looking to recapture past glory days after failing to reach last season’s grand final. Meanwhile, Wellington Phoenix are heading into their first full campaign with Chris Greenacre at the helm after the Englishman was awarded the head coach job permanently in April following a successful stint as caretaker.
There is an air of excitement about Melbourne Victory, but Wellington Phoenix are no pushovers and have a foundation in which to build upon under Greenacre. Home advantage is also in the favour of the Phoenix and they won’t be afraid to trade blows with this Melbourne Victory side. In what should be a tightly-contested game, there is value to be had in backing them each to settle for a point.
