Brisbane Roar and Wellington Phoenix are set for a critical encounter in the Australian A-League this Saturday, with both teams level on points and outside the playoff positions. The match is vital as it takes place with only five games left in the season.
Brisbane Roar has experienced a disappointing second half of the season, currently on a seven-match winless streak comprising three draws and four losses. Their last outing resulted in a 2-2 draw against Western Sydney Wanderers.
Wellington Phoenix, also struggling for form with seven winless matches, recently secured a much-needed 2-0 victory against Perth Glory. This win improved their standing, but they remain level on points with Brisbane.
Historically, Brisbane Roar has a superior head-to-head record with 24 wins out of 57 meetings. However, Wellington Phoenix has dominated recent encounters, enjoying a three-match winning streak and remaining unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 meetings since March 2022.
Brisbane Roar's home form has also been poor, failing to secure a win in their last six home games in 2026. With both teams needing maximum points, a draw is predicted, with a 2-2 scoreline anticipated.
