BTTS – Yes
There’s not much that separates these two and you can tell that by the sheer odds that the bookies provided. Six of the last 10 games between the two teams ended with both teams scoring and that says a lot about the nature of this rivalry – neither team accepts the underdog role.
We’ll most likely get to see plenty of goalscoring opportunities in the two penalty boxes as the players strive to get much-needed three points that might just give the players wings for the remaining part of the season.
Brisbane Roar to win
Sure, there are other teams who are performing at a higher level this season, and Melbourne Victory, Central Coast Mariners, Western Sydney, and Macarthur are rightfully above Brisbane Roar in the ranking but the Lions’ momentum is second to none. There’s not a single A-League team that has Brisbane Roar’s tremendous form.
With not a single loss in the last five league games and a narrow advantage over Wellington Phoenix in the head-to-head department, we can rightfully assume that Brisbane Roar are the more likely to put their hands on the three points on Saturday.

Brisbane Roar odds: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.0%
Draw odds: 51/20 (3.55) – 25.3%
Wellington Phoenix odds: 43/20 (3.15) – 29.7%
At 13/20 (1.65) and 60.6%, it’s fair to say that the bookies believe that both teams will score goals on Saturday. There’s no other way around it as the two teams seem very equal and there’s not much that separates them in the ranking as well. Sure, the 6/5 (2.20) odds give Brisbane Roar a 45.0% chance of victory but the Lions will have to work extra hard to secure the full set of points.
Predicted lineups, team news, and last result
Brisbane Roar
The Lions are one of the best teams around this year. With two victories and three draws in the last five A-League showdowns, coach Warren Moon’s boys look like top contenders for the title this season.
They just recently earned a much-needed 0:1 victory over Melbourne Victory at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium and the players will undoubtedly have their motivation sky-high against Wellington Phoenix on Saturday.
Predicted lineup – Holmes (GK), Courtney-Perkins, Chapman, Neville, Hore, Hingert, Trewin, O’Shea, Knowles, Armiento & Mileusnic
Wellington Phoenix
Coach Ufuk Talay will have to address Bozhidar Kraev’s absence sooner rather than later as the Bulgarian attacking midfielder earned a foolish red card in the last game a couple of days ago. Sure, Wellington Phoenix defeated Sydney FC with a narrow 0:1 victory but the absence of Bozhidar Kraev will be a massive blow for Wellington Phoenix as he’s the top goalscorer this season.
Predicted lineup – Sail (GK), Mauragis, Payne, Wootton, Elliot, Barbarouses, Rufer, Lewis, Sase, Ball & Zawada
Starting lineups

*Starting lineups are usually announced 1hr before the kick-off
Player to watch: Jay O’Shea
Not only is Jay O’Shea the 2nd-highest goalscoring player in Brisbane Roar’s camp but he’s also a central midfielder with an endless amount of energy. His lung-bursting runs in the center of the park often intimidate the opponent’s midfield and it would be quite interesting to see him perform vs a bleeding Wellington Phoenix side. He was among the top players for the Lions in the last game against this opponent and we’re certain that our Brisbane Roar vs Wellington Phoenix prediction is going to be a success because of this man.
