These two sides have been in contrasting form of late, with Phoenix – who failed to win any of their first five games – having the chance to leapfrog the visitors with a win in this one.
After going unbeaten in their first four matches, last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Newcastle Jets was a third on the trot for the Wanderers.
And you should expect a few goals in this clash as well.
The Wanderers have neither kept or conceded a clean sheet in any of their last nine games outside of NSW, while the Phoenix are one of only two clubs (with Perth Glory) yet to keep a clean sheet in 2019/20.
It all points to what should be a tense but entertaining clash in Auckland on Saturday afternoon, which can be seen LIVE and FREE on ABC TV.
