Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar Betting Tips

Wellington Phoenix have suffered quite a slump over the past few weeks, and they come into this match having only won one of their last seven Hyundai A-League matches.

Four of these seven games have ended in defeat for the struggling Kiwis, and they have conceded three goals in their last two matches.

But a lot of these poor results have come on the road, and if you look at their home record they actually don’t look like a bad side. They have won three of their last four home league games and haven’t lost any of the last four.

Wellington Phoenix’ away form has let them down though, and they currently sit outside the Championship playoff positions in 7^th, two points behind Adelaide United in 6^th.

Brisbane Roar managed to dig themselves out of a small hole they found themselves in a a couple of months ago.

They endured a period of just one win in five matches in the A-League, but they’re coming into this match having won their last four on the bounce.

This excellent winning streak has taken Brisbane Roar to the top of the Hyundai A-League table. They are level on points with 2^nd placed Western Sydney Wanderers but have a game in hand over them after the former leaders lost to Melbourne City on Saturday.

However, Brisbane Roar’s recent upturn in form has coincided with a period of a lot of home matches, and away from home they have lost two, drawn two, and won one of their last five matches.

These two sides last met just under a month ago when Brisbane Roar won 2-1 at home, and this makes it two wins for them and three for Wellington Phoenix in their last five meetings.

I think the home advantage will make all the difference on Sunday, and looking at Wellington Phoenix’ home form and Brisbane Roar’s away record I think odds of 19/20 for a Wellington Phoenix Win or Draw Double Chance are excellent value. I’m also going to back a 1-1 correct score prediction at 6/1.
