Player to watch: Douglas Costa
€700k-priced Douglas Costa deserves to be the player to watch in our professional Sydney vs Wellington Phoenix prediction, as the Brazilian is undoubtedly the big Sydney star right now. Sure, his stats aren’t exactly what the fans have hoped for at the start of the season, but he still has three goals and assists next to his name.
Second player to watch: Anthony Caceres
Attacking midfielder Anthony Caceres also has six goal returns for Sydney this season. He scored three goals and added three assists as well.
