Matchday 19 in the A-League will see Melbourne Victory playing host to Wellington Phoenix at AAMI Park on Friday. The Big V are sixth in the league standings while the Nix are 10th. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Melbourne Victory have struggled for consistency this season and are unlikely to have much say in the title race unless they can start finding results in the second half of the season.
The Big V suffered their fifth defeat of the season last weekend when they were beaten comprehensively by the Newcastle Jets on the road. That was also their third loss in four.
However, the hosts have been good at home, taking 14 points from a possible 21 at AAMI Park this season, while only conceding a single defeat (W4 D2 L1).
Meanwhile, Wellington Phoenix have experienced a major drop-off from their second-place finish last season, as they are currently on just 19 points after 10 games.
However, there has been a marginal improvement from the Nix of late. A 1-1 draw to Brisbane last time out extended their unbeaten run to four games (W1 D3 L0), which is a notable uptick after losing five of their preceding six matches.
The visitors have played six away games this term and have split the results three wins and three defeats.
