Wellington Phoenix to Win
The Yellow Army is the bookies’ favorite to win the showdown on the 28th of January and we have to agree with them on this one. With three consecutive victories in the A-League, the home team looks almost certain to get the three points and the head-to-head data further backs up our Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory prediction. After all, four of the last six games between the two teams ended with victories for coach Ufuk Talay’s boys and two matches had no winner.
Oscar Zawada to Score Anytime
Any experienced manager knows that you have very few options when your task is containing a juggernaut like Oscar Zawada. He’s been at his lethal best and during Bozhidar Kraev’s two-match ban, he proved to be just as adept at scoring goals as the attacking midfielder is.
With five goals and two assists since the start of the season, Oscar Zawada is our pick for a scorer in this game. We provide this Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory prediction knowing that the visitors are performing well at the back. It’s just that Wellington Phoenix’s attacking might is too good to ignore.

Wellington Phoenix odds: 17/20 (1.85) – 52.0%
Draw odds: 53/20 (3.65) – 26.0%
Perth Glory odds: 13/4 (4.25) – 22.0%
Yes, at 13/4 (4.25) Perth Glory have approximately a 22.0% chance of winning the game on Saturday but we feel that those odds are a tad exaggerated as the Glory is certainly not among the heavyweights this year. Furthermore, coach Ufuk Talay’s side is a remarkable team this season and the 52.0% chance of getting the three points that stand at 17/20 (1.85) corresponds with our Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory prediction.
Predicted Lineups, Team news, and Last Result
Wellington Phoenix
The Yellow Army has five victories, five draws, and three losses in 13 league games this season. This earned them a total of 20 points which keeps the team in the fight for the title fight. If Ufuk Talay’s boys keep the fire going, they’ll certainly do well on Saturday. After all, they managed to win 2:1 against Central Coast Mariners the other day in a game that they didn’t dominate and it’s that sort of match you must win if you want to be a champion in the A-League.
Predicted lineup – Sail (GK), Elliot, Payne, Laws, Mauragis, Barbarouses, Rufer, Lewis, Kraev, Ball & Zawada
Perth Glory
Perth Glory need momentum, period. Something has to change asap if coach Ruben Zadkovich’s boys want to rise above the riff-raff. The five victories, two draws, and six losses in 13 games are never going to be enough to climb the ladder. Sure, Perth Glory defeated Melbourne Victory 3:1 last week but this victory is not as glamorous as it might seem as up until the last 10 minutes of the game the result was 1:1 and the Glory almost blew a great opportunity to win.
Predicted lineup – Cook (GK), Khelifi, Kourtroumbis, Lachman, Beevers, Clisby, Amini, Bodnar, Jelacic, R. Williams & D. Williams
Starting Lineups

Player to Watch: Adam Taggart
As we mentioned above, Perth Glory snatched the three points against Melbourne Victory thanks to one man. And his name is Adam Taggart. His lovely brace proved decisive as his team grabbed a much-needed win over a team that was at the bottom of the table. His sheer presence on the pitch might put our Wellington Phoenix vs Perth Glory prediction to risk so coach Ufuk Talay will have to nullify this amazing striker somehow.
