Wellington Phoenix (Home)
- Wellington Phoenix FC has won 3, drawn 2 and lost 6 at home in the A-League 2025/2026 season.
- Wellington Phoenix FC has been in disarray since Giancarlo Italiano’s resignation, but interim manager Chris Greenacre has the Phoenix in the midst of a 5-match winless streak.
- The Phoenix sits 11th in the A-League 2025/2026 standings with 21 points from 20 games, while Perth Glory are only just above them in 10th, on 22 points from the same 20 matches.
- They are still the more dangerous side in the attacking end of the field with Ifeanyi Eze scoring 8 in 19 league games for them this term, but they are leaky at the back, having shipped 22 goals in 11 home A-League 2025/2026 matches this season (2.00 per game).
Perth Glory (Away)
- Perth Glory has won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4 away from home in A-League 2025/2026.
- Adam Griffiths has set up a direct, high-tempo, pressing style since his appointment in late 2025 and they are capable of running at any side when they are on their game.
- Tom Lawrence is their main goal-getter with 5 goals in 13 A-League appearances, but Stefan Colakovski has been in good scoring form lately with 3 goals in his last 5 games to keep the visitors in the running.

Betting Insights
- Both sides are vulnerable at the back, but have enough attacking quality to find the net, so another high-scoring tie between these two looks very likely.
- Both sides come into this game in poor form, which will make it a tough task for either to take all 3 points.
Prediction
- Perth Glory is the more positive of the two sides and will look to make this a crazy back-and-forth game, but Wellington Phoenix is a possession-based, shape-driven team and they will try and control the pace of the game, so this clash of styles could be a fascinating battle of wills.
- Draw 2-2 will be the correct score prediction.
