Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne Victory Prediction

Wellington Phoenix have had an indifferent start to the season. They comprehensively thrashed defending champions Central Coast Mariners last time out but the Mariners' poor start to their title defense means that was not much of a surprise.

Melbourne Victory have won their last three games on the bounce and will be aiming to win a fourth game to preserve their hold on top spot. Furthermore, they are unbeaten in four league games this season and will be seeking to go one step further than their runners-up finish in the playoff final last season.

We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
