Brisbane Roar FC
- Brisbane Roar FC and Wellington Phoenix FC are locked together on 24 points after 21 A-League 2025/2026 games with the hosts sitting eighth and the visitors in ninth.
- Brisbane Roar FC have failed to win any of their last three home A-League matches (D2, L1).
- Michael Valkanis has brought structure and tactical stability to Brisbane since taking over in May 2025 and he appears to have installed a disciplined style of play.
Wellington Phoenix FC
- Wellington Phoenix FC have won two, drawn four and lost three of their nine away A-League fixtures in 2025/2026, conceding an average of 2.00 goals per away match.
- Phoenix have probably been the more consistent of the two in recent weeks, with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last five A-League 2025/2026 contests.
Head-to-Head
Wellington Phoenix FC have won four of the last five head-to-head games in A-League 2025/2026, including a 3-0 win in Brisbane two months ago.
Key Players
- They keep a compact base and transition with patience, getting the ball forward to a target player in Chris Long, who has scored four goals in 17 games to be their highest scorer in A-League 2025/2026.
- New boy Nicholas D’Agostino, who has chipped in with two of the team's last five goals, should also feature.
- It’s a good, clean gameplan that should be hard to disrupt, but the visitors have a recent history of getting the better of Brisbane and have an extra bit of quality in forward Ifeanyi Eze, who has eight goals in 20 A-League 2025/2026 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Wellington are certainly the more settled of the two teams and look well-priced at 3.55 to get another away win in this fixture.
- Brisbane have conceded 13 goals in ten home games this season, so should be vulnerable to Wellington’s attack.
- Both teams to score - Yes at 1.7 looks a good wager too.
Prediction
Back Wellington Phoenix to win at 3.55 , with Both teams to score - Yes at 1.7 as a sensible secondary play.
