Where: HBF Park
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
If you said this would be a potential Grand Final Preview at the start of the season, you would have been rightly laughed out of whatever establishment you were in.
But here we are three and a half months into the season and the Glory are on top of the table while the Phoenix are showing they should be considered a legitimate test for any opponent.
You can make a case for both sides to win here, with the Nix one of the form sides of the table while Perth are just out & out good, plus they are at home.
What swings this game though is how good Wellington has been away from home this season, unbeaten in their last five and they should be able to hold out for a draw here.
