Perth Glory vs Wellington Phoenix Preview & Prediction

It promises to be a cracking showdown on Saturday night as competition leaders Wellington Phoenix come up against an in-form Perth Glory outfit at HBF Park.

Wellington have put together an outstanding season and have opened up a five-point lead at the top of the table heading into Round 18, going unbeaten in 16 of their 18 fixtures and winning 10.

Phoenix head into this contest following back-to-back victories over Western United (2-0) and Macarthur FC (2-1), while they are unbeaten in their last nine meetings with Perth.

Meanwhile, Glory may be languishing in 10th spot on the ladder, but they are unbeaten in their last five games, winning three.

Perth are undoubtedly playing their best football of the season right now and have won their last two home games 4-2 over Melbourne City and 3-2 over Brisbane Roar.

Glory are arguably the most entertaining side to watch in the A-League, with their last 13 games producing Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

VERDICT:

Phoenix have a great record against Glory in recent times, but the hosts are very tough to beat at home and are in good form themselves. Again, the draw looks the value bet in the H2H market.

For our best bet, we’ll be backing Over 2.5 goals at decent odds relatively speaking. As mentioned, Perth have seen Over 2.5 goals in their last 13 straight games, while seven of the last nine meetings between the teams have also produced 3+ goals (Best Over 2.5 goals odds $1.57 with bet365.)
