Wellington Phoenix are struggling all the season so far. They are currently ranked 10th with 4 wins,4 draws and 7 losts and the playoffs are away 10 points.

The roster is really average with only 3 players making the difference mostly in offensive side Davila,Hemed and Ball scoring 12 goals together in 14 games.

Coach Ufuk Talay said that the team is build to fight for the playoffs but they still have some things to solve and there are still many games left for this goal.

Today are still out def DeVere (6/0) and def McGing (7/0).

Melbourne City in other hand are favorites this year to go till the end of A-League.

Last game they lost against Western United 2-1 but dominated the game. It was the 1st lost after 6 consecutive wins.

Currently Melbourne City sit 4th in A-League but if they win the 2 games in hand can go to 1st place.

Coach Kinsorbo was very angry with the team after they relaxed too much against Western United, "In professional football you can't switch off because on any given day there is a team waiting to beat you"

For this game only mid O'Neill (2/0) is out, while important def Reis (7/0) and def Good (13/0) are back after missing last game.

Melbourne City have more qualities and they wants to win this year. Also they are more concentrated than the last game.

In February Wellington Phoenix win 1-0 but now the situation is different.

Probable lineups:

WELLINGTON PHOENIX (4-4-2): Oliver Sail; Louis Fenton, Steven Taylor, Tim Payne, James McGarry; Ulises Davila, Alex Rufer, Clayton Lewis, Cameron Devlin; David Ball, Tomer Hemed.

MELBOURNE CITY (4-2-3-1): Tom Glover; Nathaniel Atkinson, Nuno Reis, Curtis Good, Benjamin Garuccio; Rostyn Griffiths, Conor Metcalfe; Andrew Nabbout, Florin Berenguer, Craig Noone; Jamie Maclaren

GL!

到目前为止，惠灵顿凤凰队整个赛季都在苦苦挣扎。他们目前以4胜4平7负排名第十，季后赛还差10分。

球队的阵容很平均，只有3名球员在进攻端发挥重要作用，达维拉、赫梅和鲍尔在14场比赛中共进12球。

教练乌福克·塔雷说球队的目标是季后赛，但他们仍然有一些事情要解决，还要做很多努力。

后卫德弗尔(6/0)和麦金(7/0)继续缺席。

另一方面，墨尔本是今年英超联赛结束前最受欢迎的城市。

上一场比赛他们以2-1输给了西联，但是他们控制了比赛。这是六连胜后的第一场失利。

目前，墨尔本城在联赛中排名第四，但如果他们赢了这两场比赛，就可以获得第一名。

金索博教练对球队在对阵西部联的比赛中过于放松感到非常生气，“在职业足球中，你不能松懈，因为随时都有球队等着打败你。”

这场比赛只有奥尼尔(2/0)缺席，主力后卫赖斯(7/0)和古德(13/0)在缺席了上一场比赛后回归。

墨尔本队更有实力，他们希望赢得比赛。而且他们将会比上一场比赛更专注。

2月份惠灵顿凤凰队1-0获胜，但现在情况不同了。
