Contents
Match Result Prediction: Draw
Wellington Phoenix has featured a dominant display in the visiting H2Hs against Western United but the Nix are winless in the last three games, losing twice. Western United have also registered only one victory in the last seven outings, losing three of them. The hosts also faced a defeat in the previous meeting at home, however, ending two of the last four in draws. Based on the given stats, we predict equal competition here and expect the teams to share the points at the end.
Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes
Western United’s front line has led the team to the scoreboard in four of the last five meetings. The hosts have also conceded goals in four of those duels. In opposition, Wellington Phoenix has not missed the target in any of the away outings this season, despite winning only two of the seven. Three of the last four H2H meetings of these teams have also featured both teams scoring at the same time. Therefore, we can expect a BTTS pattern to be witnessed in this game.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw
Wellington Phoenix has found it difficult to score more than one goal in recent away games, with only one goal scored in each of the last five games. In contrast, Western United have scored at least two goals in four of their last five home games. The hosts have also only conceded five goals in those games, keeping two clean sheets. Therefore, we can anticipate a game with a low scoreline, likely ending in a 1-1 draw.
