A Wellington Phoenix win against Western Sydney Wanderers is worth 3.40 odds but an away win or draw (+0.5) in favour of Wellington Phoenix at 1.60 odds is a much safer and valuable bet.

Wellington Phoenix continue their race for a qualification stage spot in the Australian league when they visit Western Sydney Wanderers at the Commbank Stadium on Thursday.

Ufuk Talay's team are currently sixth in the A-league, occupying the final spot for the qualification stage in the Australian league. The visitors are ahead of seventh placed Macathur FC by three points, having played a game less, and a win or draw on Thursday would see them widen that gap, and ensure the safety of their spot

Wellington Phoenix come into this game with three wins in their last five games, losing two games, and one of those games was an unavoidable 3-1 loss against A-league giants, Melbourne Victory.

Western Sydney Wanderers have struggled for consistency in the last two months, the hosts have recorded just one win in their last eight games, and currently find themselves on tenth position, and outside the qualification stage spots.

With just six wins from twenty four games, Mark Rudan's team have the second worst win rate in the A-league this season. Wellington Phoenix would be looking to pick up a win against a team that is currently out of form.

Wellington Phoenix have won two of the last three meetings against Western Sydney Wanderers, including a recent 1-0 win at the Eden park last month, and a 2-1 win in favour of Wellington Phoenix the last time they visited this Stadium.

It's quite surprising that the bookmakers have placed Wellington Phoenix as underdogs in a fixture against one of the poorest teams in the league, an away win is very likely, but backing the visitors to avoid defeat (+0.5), at 1.60 odds is a very valuable bet in this fixture.
