Wellington Phoenix vs Brisbane Roar Preview plus match odds for Hyundai A-League Round 22

Saturday, January 9
Wellington Phoenix v Brisbane Roar, Westpac Stadium, 5pm (EDT)


While the Phoenix are yet to to record a victory against the Roar, they are unbeaten at Westpac Stadium in 14 games and unsurprisingly have been installed as slim favourites (2.20) heading into Saturday night's encounter.

This is a tough trip for the Roar (3.00), who, down on luck after conceding 5 goals against the Gold Coast will also be without the services of their inspirational skipper Craig Moore and will come up against a Wellington side high on confidence after a convincing 2-0 win over Central Coast.

Paul Ifill continues to impress and in Adrian Caceres they have a player who can provide a spark off the bench when needed. The Phoenix should take the 3 points, but as is often the case with the Welllington side at home, a draw (3.30) is also a likely occurrence.

Other round 22 matches and odds:

  • Central Coast*(1.75) vs. North Queensland (4.50), draw (3.40)
  • Gold Coast* (1.70) vs. Adelaide United (4.75), draw (3.45)
  • Newcastle* (2.70) vs. Melbourne (2.40), draw (3.30)
  • Perth* (2.75) vs. Sydney (2.35), draw (3.35)
*Denotes the home side.
