In the A-League, Wellington Phoenix will play Melbourne City at the Wellington Regional Stadium on Monday. The hosts haven’t lost in three league games since their previous outing when they drew 1-1 with Perth Glory. In the 22nd minute, Perth took the lead thanks to David Williams, but Oskar Zawada scored an equalizer nine minutes later. With 11 points, they are in eighth place in the league table.
Melbourne City got back to winning ways last time around as Jamie Maclaren’s first-half strike assisted them in overcoming Focal Coast Sailors 1-0 at home. They have 19 points from eight games and are five points ahead of Western Sydney Wanderers, who are in second place.

In this home matchup against the defending champions, Yellow Army will be looking to extend their unbeaten streak to three games. They are likely to score in this game as well, having scored 10 goals in their previous four home games. Melbourne City is undefeated in their last five association games against the hosts and, taking into account their strong structure, they ought to have the option to hopefully figure out a success.
