Wellington Phoenix build a very good team this year despite they didn't took what they deserved in this start of A-League.

So far they collected 12 points after 12 games 3 wins,3 draws and 6 losts.

Players like Hemed or Davila are very good offensive but the problems so far have been in defense.

To solve it they signed the veteran def Steven Taylor experienced in Premier League after playing 10 years with Newcastle. He is called for this game and probably will play some minutes.

Coach Ufuk Talay said that for Wellington Phoenix the goal this year are the playoffs.

For this game out is only def DeVere (6/0).

Melbourne Victory is probably the worst team this year in A-League. They lost all the key players in the summer and will repeat the same results as last year.

So far they lost 8 from 11 games, and also the worst attack with 11 goals scored and worst defense with 26 goals conceded.

For this game there are many important missings captain mid Broxham (11/0), best scorer st Gestede (8/3), def Shotton (7/0), def Ryan (6/0) and st Rojas (7/0) while def Anderson (6/0) is doubtful.

Especially the st Gestede is a big blow as his substitutes are poor players.

Both teams played 1 month ago and Gestede scored 2 goals.

I think Wellington Phoenix is favorite for the win today. Melbourne Victory have a very weak roster and these missings should make the difference.

GL!

威灵顿凤凰今年打造了一支非常优秀的球队，尽管他们没有在联赛的开局中取得应有的成绩。

到目前为止，他们在12场比赛后得到了12分3胜3平6负。

像赫梅德和达维拉这样的球员进攻很好，但目前的问题是在防守上。

为了解决这个问题，他们签下了在纽卡斯尔效力了10年的英超老将史蒂文·泰勒。他被召唤上场，可能会上场几分钟。

教练乌福克·塔雷说，对惠灵顿凤凰队来说，今年的目标是进入季后赛。

本场比赛只有后卫DeVere(6/0)缺阵。

墨尔本胜利可能是今年a联赛中最差的球队。他们在夏天失去了所有的关键球员，并且将会重蹈去年的覆辙。

到目前为止，他们在11场比赛中输了8场，同时也是进攻最差的11个进球和防守最差的26个失球。

这场比赛有很多重要的球员缺席，队长布罗克斯汉姆(11/0)，最佳射手st Gestede (8/3)， def Shotton (7/0)， def Ryan(6/0)和st Rojas (7/0)， def Anderson(6/0)值得怀疑。

尤其是圣格斯泰德是一个很大的打击，因为他的替补球员都很差。

两队都在一个月前打过球，格斯特德进了2球。

我认为威灵顿凤凰队是今天获胜的热门。墨尔本的胜利有一个非常弱的阵容，这些缺阵应该是不同的。
