Melbourne City FC vs Wellington Phoenix Prediction and Betting Tips (03.01.2025)

Command Analysis

Melbourne City FC

Australia

Current form

Melbourne City do not plan to leave the top half of the A-League standings. The team started the new season with four away victories in a row - they managed to beat Newcastle Jets (1:0), Western United (1:0), Perth Glory (5:0) and the league main outsider, Brisbane Roar (4:1). At the same time, the club has already lost twice on its home field - first to Melbourne Victory (1:3), and then to the much more modest Western Side Wanderers (0:2). In the last three rounds, the Melbourne club shared tournament points with Auckland (2:2), Melbourne Victory (1:1) and Central Coast Mariners (1:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors are without Alessandro Lopane, Andrew Nabbout, Jayden Nekovski, Marco Tilio and Matthew Leckie due to injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

  • The team has not lost in four matches in a row.
  • The hosts have failed to win their last three home matches.

Estimated lineup: Beach - Talbot, Trewin, Supraien, Atkinson - Ugarkovich, Schreiber - Cohen, Kuhn, Politidis - Memeti

Wellington Phoenix

New Zealand

Current form

Wellington Phoenix have been in the playoffs for three years in a row, and the season started off quite well for the New Zealanders, but now the team is in crisis. The team recently suffered three defeats in a row - from Auckland (1:2), Macarthur (1:2) and Western Sydney Wanderers (1:4). Due to the series of defeats, the team dropped to the bottom half of the table. They still managed to finish the calendar year on a high note - the visitors beat one of the outsiders, Newcastle Jets (2:1). The Wellington club is in ninth place in the league and is two points behind the top 6.

Disqualifications and injuries

Stefan Kolakowski and Marco Rojas will not help the team due to injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

  • The team has lost three of its last four league matches.
  • None of Wellington last five away games have ended in a draw

Prospective lineup: Oluwayemi - Payne, Sheridan, Wooton, Sutton - Rufer, Hughes - Retre, Nagasavi - Barbarouses, Ishige

Tip and bets

2.1Wellington Phoenix won't lose

The visitors dropped a lot of points at the end of 2024, but the coaching staff probably made a lot of adjustments during the New Year holidays, which should help the team get back on track. Wellington Phoenix clearly does not want to move further away from the playoff zone, so they need to take points in the match with Melbourne City. The hosts have not won a single game in the last three rounds, so the task is clearly feasible for the New Zealanders.

Our prediction is Wellington Phoenix not to lose at 2.10

Do you agree with this bet?
2.2total under 2.5 goals

Bet on total

Both opponents want to start the new year with a win, which requires not only an effective attack, but also a competent defense. We think that the team that scores first will start playing by the score and go into defense. In the last two face-to-face matches, only one goal was scored, most likely, history will repeat itself.

Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 2.20

Bet on the first half

We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.

Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 2.45
