Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory Match Analysis & Prediction
28/01/2023 5:00 am
Wellington Phoenix will be looking to break into the top two of the A-League on Saturday when they host Perth Glory at the Central Energy Trust Arena.
While the hosts are higher up in the standings, the visitors are heading into the contest with confidence as they are unbeaten in their previous four matches.
A victory on Saturday has the potential of seeing Wellington Phoenix climb into second place depending on other results – as they currently sit fourth – and their recent form will provide confidence to the team.
Ufuk Talay’s side are unbeaten in their previous three matches, winning each game and picking up two clean sheets in the process.
While the Nix did concede last weekend, that was in the 92nd minute of the game, proving to be nothing more than a consolation for Central Coast Mariners.
Meanwhile, in their seven away matches so far this season, Perth Glory have managed to win just one, losing all of the other games.
Considering the fact that they are unbeaten at home, it is these matches that are currently hampering Perth Glory’s season, as they would be in a much stronger position if they could turn their away fortunes around.
Ruben Zadkovich’s side head into the weekend on the back of a four-game unbeaten run, and while all of those took place at home it should have instilled some momentum and belief into the team.
Perth Glory’s most recent game showcased the quality that the team have in an attacking sense as they beat Melbourne Victory 3-1, and a repeat of that result would massively help their current standing.

In the 48 previous meetings between these two sides, Wellington Phoenix have claimed 19 victories while Perth Glory have won 20, and they have drawn in nine. Perth Glory have scored 67 goals and conceded 66 in the process.
