Wellington hosts Melbourne Victory in round 23 of Australian A-League. The match will be played on Sunday, March 15th at Sky Stadium (Wellington)
A completely new face at the top of the championship imposes a serious struggle on two A-League leaders - Melbourne City and Sydney. Wellington cast the line last season, having intervened in the ordinary order of the balance of power, and in this one, it has every chance to get into the 1/2 finals without obstacles. This has become possible thanks to home matches, which are fundamentally different from away meetings. The club has not lost since last November (8 matches: Brisbane Roar (2:1), Western Sydney Wanderers (2:1), Sydney (2:2), Melbourne City (1:0), and the game looks very confident. Almost every home game takes place under Wellington's advantage, even against more eminent rivals. Defense behaves identically to the general trend - away - well, but at home - better.

A regular participant in the playoffs of the regular season can sensationally fly past such an event. To everyone’s surprise, Melbourne Victory takes only 9th place and is behind the top six by seven points. Of course, the handicap does not look too big, and the diffidence of the opponents does not give a detailed picture of the deservedness of their location. The only trouble is that last year’s semifinalist belongs to this group. Even home support doesn’t save Melbourne Victory, and the results at the home stadium, albeit they have a lighter shade of brown, still belong to this particular color. And away games are just a nightmare. In 10 away games, the team managed to earn only 8 points, always playing defense first. Melbourne Victory does not control anything on the road, even when they manage to achieve a positive result.
Both rivals represent two different poles, one of which was lucky to be on the right side. Wellington looks like a favorite in this confrontation, and its successful series is superimposed on the reverse situation of an eminent rival.
Prediction for the match: Wellington Phoenix to win
