Wellington Phoenix v Brisbane Roar

Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar Preview

Wellington Phoenix will be looking to extend their unbeaten run in the Australian A-League to four matches on Thursday when they play host to Brisbane Roar at their Sky Stadium and in turn take advantage of their visitors' poor campaign to date which has left Brisbane sitting bottom of the A-League table.

Brisbane Roar reverted back to their losing ways last time out in the A-League as they succumbed to a 1-0 defeat at home to Western Sydney Wanderers which has left the Queensland outfit firmly rooted to the bottom of the division with just five points to their name so far this term.

Wellington Phoenix have not fared much better in recent times in the Australian top flight as the New Zealanders currently occupy 10th place in the A-League table having picked up just two wins from their last nine matches overall along with being handed no fewer than five defeats in the process.

However, despite slipping to these five losses, the Kiwi hosts have still managed to collect recent wins against the likes of Newcastle Jets and Macarthur Rams and these victories should still stand Wellington Phoenix in reasonable shape ahead of this upcoming clash at the Sky Stadium.

Results on home soil have also been a bit of a mixed bag but Wellington still managed to register a 1-0 home win against Melbourne Victory earlier in the season.

As for Brisbane Roar, the visitors slumped to an 11th defeat within their total of 14 matches played to date this season last time out when they suffered a 1-0 loss at home to Western Sydney Wanderers and having managed to collect just one win from their 14 matches to date, the visitors look to be in trouble here.

Brisbane Roar's singular success so far this season came in the form of a 4-3 win away from home at Sydney FC but otherwise The Roar have had to endure a long and ultimately disappointing campaign to date in this season's A-League.

The bigger picture also underlines how many problems Brisbane Roar have had in recent times in the A-League as Ruben Zadkovich's side have managed to register just that single win from their previous 17 matches overall in the Australian top tier.

To make matters worse, Brisbane Roar have also fallen to no fewer than 13 defeats within this dismal and barren sequence of results and these poor results over a lengthy period of time suggests the visitors will have their work cut out against Wellington Phoenix.

Wellington Phoenix have won each of the last two meetings at home against Brisbane Roar and the hosts look the more likely here as well.
