Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne City Lineups & Team News
Wellington Phoenix
Coach Italiano’s boys rank 3rd in the A-League, with two wins and two draws in their opening four league fixtures. They managed to beat Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory, but according to our Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne City predictions, Hearts will have the last laugh at Go Media Stadium on the 25th.
Predicted lineup – Paulsen (GK), Kelly-Heald, Wootton, Surman, Payne, Al-Taay, Rufer, Pennington, Barbarouses, Kraev & Zawada
Melbourne City
After a shockingly bleak display in the opening two A-League fixtures, Hearts managed to find their rhythm in recent weeks. Our Wellington Phoenix vs Melbourne City predictions seem to be on the track to success, as Hearts showed unyielding character in the games against Sydney and Macarthur.
Predicted lineup – Young (GK), Galloway, Reis, Souprayen, Behich, Ugarkovic, Natel, Sakhi, Arslan, Jakolis & Maclaren
Player to Watch: Jamie Maclaren
If it wasn’t for Jamie Maclaren’s lethal goalscoring instinct, Hearts would’ve definitely lost the match versus the Bulls at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. On the 12th of November, Jamie bagged a lovely brace for coach Italiano. He certainly wants to try and defend his 2022/23 Top Goalscorer Award, but he’ll have to up his game if he’s to best the likes of Melbourne Victory’s Fornaroli who already scored six goals this season and is topping the goalscoring charts in the A-League.
