Wellington Phoenix

Current form
Wellington Phoenix has been among the leaders of the Australian A-League for a long time, but this season is just terrible for the New Zealand club. Most likely, the team will miss the playoffs for the first time in recent seasons.

2.40Tip and bets
The guests have been looking frankly helpless lately. The club's fans have already accepted their fate and are just waiting for the regular season to end. The team is losing match after match, and it is unlikely that this will stop in the game against Sydney, which has been doing well in recent matches and still has tournament motivation. We believe that the hosts will win easily.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (-1.5) for Sydney in 2.07
Bet on the total
The hosts continue to play in the Champions League, where they recently made an impressive comeback against Jeongbuk. Surely, after an energy-consuming match, the team will try to beat Wellington with little blood, so you shouldn't expect a lot of goals here.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 3.5 goals in 1.62
Betting on corners
The hosts will clearly have the initiative on the football field, so we believe that the favorite will outperform the opponent not only in terms of the number of goals scored, but also in other indicators, including corner kicks.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-4.5) on Sydney corners in 1.96
